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
- Agreements signed at hire and never refreshed as the agreements changed
- Privileged users sign the same agreement as general users with no added obligations
- Third party personnel covered by a corporate contract but never signing individually
