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
- Distribution boards in areas accessible to all staff and contractors
- Power cabling shares an unprotected route with a high traffic corridor
- Protection considered for the data hall while upstream supply equipment is ignored
