First move
This control is evidenced by people and documents, not systems. Put the document under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a record with reviewer and date. Do not try to automate it.
Common gaps auditors find
- Visitor book records arrival but never departure, so presence cannot be established
- Records kept but never reviewed, so repeated unexplained visits go unnoticed
- Retention shorter than the period needed to support an investigation
