Use the completed resource to make the next conversation specific.

When a small business is breached through a vendor, no security tooling fires, because nothing malicious happened: somebody with permission used their permission. A right-sized program starts with an inventory pulled from accounts payable, your identity platform, and your remote access tool, then tiers vendors into three levels.

The connected guide explains the reasoning behind the questions, the evidence worth keeping, and the tradeoffs leadership should review before approving work.
