First move
Start with the 1 of 4 artefacts that already live in a system (SIEM / log platform); keep the periodic reviews but log each one as a dated record with a named reviewer.

- Backup media couriered with a signature on collection but no custody record in between
- Encryption relied on for digital media while paper records travel unprotected
- Transport performed by whoever is going that way rather than by authorized personnel
