My career as a sysadmin consistently has me veering toward security and compliance and my brain is absolutely fried on trying to figure out what these huge docs actually mean, how they apply to the things I'm responsible for and what we're supposed to do about it.

Props to all the folks that can do it without losing their mind.

You need to first understand the grand structure of the doc, then cherry pick the content to action points. At least that's how I do it.

You break it down into chunks and delegate. They're not expecting any one person to implement the whole thing.
