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
- Procedures describe the joiner process while movers and leavers, where access accumulates, are thin
- Documented for the primary application with cloud consoles, databases and administrative tooling uncovered
- Approvers unaware of the procedure, so approvals are given without applying need to know
