Technical readiness for supplier and compliance pressure
A technical readiness project covering access, devices, backups, incident process, and evidence for supplier and compliance conversations.
The business was under pressure to answer security questions from suppliers and improve its technical evidence. The goal was not to produce a thick policy pack. The first need was to understand what was actually configured and what needed attention.
The Challenge
Supplier questionnaires and compliance conversations were asking practical questions about users, access, devices, backups, and incident response. The business needed a clearer picture of current controls and a realistic improvement order.
What Centrix Delivered
Centrix reviewed the Microsoft 365 environment, administrator access, MFA position, device controls, backup expectations, and incident response readiness. The findings were converted into a control and evidence checklist that management could use in supplier conversations.
The work focused on practical next steps: what to fix first, what evidence to collect, and which controls would reduce the most risk.
Outcome
Management received a clearer technical roadmap, better evidence for security questionnaires, and a prioritised set of improvements covering identity, devices, backups, and incident readiness.
