First move
Mostly documents and reviews. Pull the 1 system-held artefact from your Policy repository / GRC workspace on a schedule; put the documents under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- Restriction stated in policy while operational pressure produces routine unapproved field repair
- Exceptions granted verbally with no record and no compensating measures
- Maintenance records do not record location, so compliance with the restriction cannot be tested
