Audit evidence collection. Evidence gathering and access reviews for our attestation are manual chores for a tiny security team.

Identity & access management. Permissions across cloud accounts, pipelines and internal tools drift and we review them by spreadsheet.

Today: periodic access reviews and pipeline protection handled by a lone security hire · Urgency: now
