Start with critical activities
Identify the services whose disruption would have the greatest impact. Connect them to the applications, identities and infrastructure on which they depend.
Check the fundamentals
Review privileged access, authentication, updates, backups and visibility into security events. Do not assume that a safeguard works without evidence to verify it.
Balance risk and feasibility
Assess potential impacts, exposure conditions and remediation effort. A useful plan distinguishes immediate actions from changes that need preparation.
Review priorities over time
Changes to an application, provider or organisation can change your exposure. Track and reassess the roadmap with the relevant owners.
