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
- Criticality assumed from system importance rather than analysed at component level
- Analysis performed at design only and never repeated as the architecture changed
- Results not used, so critical components receive no additional protection
