What changed after the work

“The plan forced us to name which systems had to return first after a warehouse outage. We spent longer than expected on dependency mapping, but the written roles finally matched how our night shift actually works.”

Nomsa Khumalo · Operations Director, regional logistics firm · Backup & Recovery Security Plan

“Their assessment caught that our immutable backup lock could still be shortened by a shared admin account. We fixed the access split before our next audit cycle.”
