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
- Accountability assigned to CISO only
- Board lacks cyber literacy training
- Performance objectives lack measurable cyber criteria
- No leadership challenge captured in minutes
