First move
Start with the 1 of 4 artefacts that already live in a system (Endpoint management (MDM / EDR)); keep the periodic reviews but log each one as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- Policy prohibits removable media while no technical control prevents it
- Enforcement on laptops but not on servers, build machines or operational technology
- Ownership of approved devices never recorded, so the unowned device rule cannot be applied
