// Sample question

An auditor asks for evidence that access reviews happen quarterly. Engineering says they do it 'when we remember.' What do you do?

Show strong-answer outline

Treat it as a control gap, not a fight. Document the current state, propose a lightweight quarterly review using your IdP's existing reports, set a calendar reminder owned by a named person, and capture the first two cycles as remediated evidence. Update the policy to match what's actually achievable.
