How to Keep Security Exceptions From Outliving Their Business Need

An exception that is not reviewed can quietly become a permanent gap after the original situation has changed.

Checks to make

Record the affected control, risk, compensating measures, accountable approver, owner, and expiry. Set reminders and require renewal evidence; close the exception only after verifying the control or documenting a new risk decision.
