Today: a growing governance analyst team preparing controls and audits by hand ahead of each attestation · Urgency: this year

Regulatory reporting. Selling to government agencies means translating federal security baselines into engineering requirements and continuous reporting we have not done before.

Today: a newly founded federal compliance team writing security plans and tracking remediation items · Urgency: this year

Cloud security posture. Tracking and closing vulnerabilities across a rapidly growing fleet of bare-metal and container hosts strains our remediation workflow.

Today: dedicated remediation engineers chasing vulnerabilities across a fast-growing data center fleet · Urgency: later
