Challenge

  • Enterprise deals were blocked by security review requirements with no existing compliance artifacts.
  • Evidence existed across tools but was inconsistent and hard to audit quickly.
  • Control ownership was unclear across engineering, ops, and leadership.

Solution

  • Defined scope, systems, and owners, then translated requirements into an execution backlog.
  • Implemented practical controls and packaged evidence in an auditor-friendly index.
  • Created a security review pack to answer questionnaires with evidence references.

Results

  • Audit-readiness artifacts delivered with clear ownership and operational cadence.
  • Reduced security-review friction by standardizing answers and evidence references.
  • Established a runway for Type II operations without rebuilding the program.
