Security considerations
Consulting is most useful when it starts from business context rather than a generic checklist. We look at what the organization must protect, which systems the business depends on, which obligations it has to customers and partners, and what level of risk leadership is prepared to accept. Recommendations are then sized to the team that will implement them.
