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
- Access accumulates across roles because transfer only ever adds entitlements
- Transfer treated as a human resources event that never reaches system owners
- Notification timeframes undefined, so changes lag the transfer by months
