Technical protection and operational governance to shrink the attack surface, control privileges and know, with evidence, who accesses what.

What usually improves

  • Less exposure to stale access
  • Controlled, verifiable offboarding
  • Least privilege as the rule, not the exception
  • Security changes with no surprises in production

How much each point improves depends on the environment: volume, structure and data maturity. That is why no percentage is promised here. The assessment measures the current situation and defines, before any work starts, how the gain will be measured.

Diagnosis

Signs this solves your problem

  • Accounts of people who left the company are still active.
  • Nobody knows for sure who has access to what.
  • Permissions have piled up with every change of role.
  • Security changes are made with no record and no way back.

Delivery

What gets done

  • Access and permission review

    Users, groups and permissions mapped and checked against each person’s role.

  • Offboarding governance

    Criteria and a routine for revoking access, including accounts unused for a defined period.

  • Hardening and controls

    Firewall, web filtering, encryption, DLP and endpoint policies reviewed and adjusted.

  • Traceability

    Logs, evidence and change records, always with a prior backup and the option to roll back.
