“You’ve just tick-boxed something, but there was no effective way to assign corrective action. There’s been no significant change. We had quite good incident management and monitoring systems, so we could report on trends or incidents as they happened. But we couldn’t follow that up with a good auditing tool. We couldn’t say, ‘Hey, that happened, let’s take some action on the ground.’”
