A Practical Security Operations Review
Six areas to revisit between formal assessments.
Formal assessments provide an important point-in-time view of your security program. Between those reviews, ownership, configurations, vulnerabilities, response procedures, and business priorities continue to change. Use these questions to confirm that critical security responsibilities remain owned and actively executed.
This is not a score or maturity assessment. Use it as a discussion guide during a periodic IT, security, compliance, or leadership review. Check off each question as it is discussed, and focus follow-up on any area your team cannot answer clearly.

Compliance establishes expectations. Security requires continuous execution.
