First move
Automate the pull from your SIEM / log platform. Retention and alert rules exported from the SIEM; review evidence is the closed-alert record with reviewer and time.
Common gaps auditors find
- Vendor logs not ingested into the central SIEM
- Privileged third party access not separately tagged
- No alerting on vendor anomalies, only periodic review
- Contract clauses not enforced when telemetry stops
