4. Suggest strategies for coordinating cross-team collaboration and keeping all stakeholders informed.
5. Identify potential challenges during implementation and propose mitigation strategies.
6. Recommend metrics to track the success of the controls and the role of external audits.

Output format Present a detailed implementation plan with phases, actions, owners, and success metrics. Use tables or bullet points for clarity.
