Reduce privileged attack paths
Inventory administrative access, service identities and remote support channels. Review strong authentication, privilege separation and access removal with the responsible owners. Validate that controls cover critical systems rather than relying on a policy statement alone.
Connect detection to action
Confirm that important events reach a monitored destination with useful context. Exercise alert triage, isolation decisions and coordination with providers. Maintain response instructions and contact paths that remain accessible when normal collaboration tools are unavailable.
Protect the ability to recover
Review backup protection, restoration credentials, clean recovery environments and service dependencies. Test the sequence required to restore a business process and reconcile its data. Cicrim can help assess these dependencies and turn observed gaps into an owned improvement plan.
Plan the next working session
Bring the current process, the accountable business and control owners, and the questions your team needs to resolve. Cicrim can help define a focused scope, expected working outputs and acceptance criteria before delivery begins.
