About this project

Growing software companies reach a point where enterprise buyers start sending security questionnaires they cannot yet answer. Controls exist informally but there is little evidence.

This programme fixes the highest-risk gaps first, then builds lasting habits: least-privilege access, automated scanning and a control tracker that collects evidence as work happens.

  • Find and close realistic attack paths before customers ask
  • Reduce cloud permissions to the least required
  • Be ready for a SOC 2 Type I audit

What’s delivered
