An assessment is only defensible if the findings in it are observed rather than asserted. Discovery supplies what regulated data exists and where, scanning supplies the configuration and exposure posture, and the audit trail supplies who has actually been reaching it — so the assessment describes the estate as measured. Our advisory engagements then map each finding to the specific mandate it touches and sequence the remediation.

Findings route by severity to Slack, Teams, email, PagerDuty, or your SIEM, and escalate automatically when nobody acknowledges them and again when nobody resolves them. Every alert arrives with the query, the identity, and the data classification already attached, so the response starts with context rather than with an investigation. The acknowledge-to-resolve history is retained, which is what evidences that the procedure was followed. Your ticketing system stays where it is — what this produces is a finding worth opening a ticket for.

Notification clocks start when you become aware, so detection latency is the whole exposure. Behavioural baselines score each deviation as it happens and flag it in under a second, rather than surfacing it in a weekly review. Severity is decided at the collector and routed immediately, so the window between the access and someone knowing about it is measured in seconds — and the audit trail behind it already holds what was reached, by whom, and when.

A supplier-risk requirement has two halves and they are not equally hard. The register of providers, the contractual clauses, and the assessment of each supplier as an organisation are yours to maintain — nothing in the platform produces them. The half that is usually undocumented is what those suppliers, their tooling, and their service accounts are actually reaching inside your estate. Scanning surfaces the shared and vendor-default accounts, the credentials with no owner, and the standing privileges nobody has exercised; the query trail then shows which of those grants were used, against which classified tables, from which client host. So the review reflects observed third-party access rather than an attestation, and an integrator session that steps outside its usual pattern is scored as it happens rather than found at the next annual review.

The register of ICT providers is maintained by you. What is produced against the monitoring half is the observed access record per third-party identity — granted versus used, against classified objects, with the client host attached.
