First move
Mostly documents and reviews. Pull the 1 system-held artefact from your Vulnerability scanner / patch tooling on a schedule; put the documents under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- Unstructured stores omitted from inventory
- Tagging inconsistent across regions
- ROPA outdated
- Discovery scans limited to sanctioned platforms
