Deliverables

What to agree in the first scope

Possible assessment outputs, selected and confirmed during scoping.

  • A prioritised risk and remediation plan
  • Identity, cloud or application control recommendations
  • Response responsibilities and evidence needed to verify improvements
Your requirement

Prioritise security work around your business systems

A useful security plan connects business-critical services to their identities, data and dependencies. Agree which risks to address first, how improvements will be checked and who will own the remaining exposure.

Approach

How the work runs.

  1. 01 Frame around consequence

    Identify the business services whose failure would be material, then map the identities, data, dependencies and controls that determine their exposure.

  2. 02 Sequence by impact and feasibility

    Order improvements by the reduction in exposure per unit of delivery effort, and state plainly what is being deferred and accepted.

  3. 03 Embed rather than append

    Put controls into platforms, pipelines and processes so they operate by default.

  4. 04 Prove under conditions

    Test the response, not only the configuration — exercises, recovery validation, and evidence that a detection produces an action rather than a ticket.

Questions

What buyers ask

Do you provide a 24/7 SOC or managed detection service?

No. MENTARA does not operate a SOC or offer managed detection and response. Our scope can include improvements to detection, triage and response processes alongside your internal team or specialist provider.

Can you support ISO 27001 or SOC 2 readiness?

We can support the engineering, process documentation and evidence preparation in an agreed readiness scope. ISO 27001 certification is a separate certification process; a SOC 2 examination and report are provided by an independent CPA firm. MENTARA does not issue either assurance outcome or currently hold them itself.

What if we already have a list of findings?

We can help turn existing findings into a prioritised delivery plan with owners, dependencies and acceptance criteria. Share the scope of the review first; use an agreed secure channel for sensitive findings.

Where MENTARA fits best.

Scope

MENTARA supports scoped security assessments and improvement work across identity, cloud, applications and operations.

Live incident response, continuous monitoring and product-specific certified implementation may require a specialist provider. Mandatory assurance requirements should be raised during scoping.
