01 / Assessment Sprint

The Assessment Sprint

A fixed-scope cyber and AI security posture review for SaaS teams shipping AI features and B2B vendors preparing for security diligence.

What you receive

  • A review of the agreed systems and AI surface
  • Ranked findings and a plain-English report
  • A 30/60/90-day remediation roadmap
  • A 30-minute debrief to discuss the findings

Typically about one week. Scope, timing and commercial terms are agreed before the review begins.

The sprint does not include a certification audit, a custom platform build or unlimited advisory hours.

How the engagement works
  1. Agree the systems, AI surface and review boundaries.
  2. Confirm the scope of work and deposit before kickoff.
  3. Review the evidence, discuss the findings and plan remediation.
02 / Start with your environment

Work with what you already have.

Start with the systems your decisions depend on. Define the information to connect, the infrastructure to retain and the points where action requires explicit authority.

Connect the evidence.

Choose the records, documents and events required to answer one operational question. Define freshness and provenance before ingestion.

SQL · Warehouses · Documents · Object storage · Events · Streams · Files · Vector data · Telemetry · Reference data · Logs · Time series

Place the work deliberately.

Establish where transformations and evaluations may run. Capacity, latency and data movement are design decisions to validate.

Batch · Queries · Functions · Containers · Pipelines · Queues · Schedulers · CPU · GPU · Analytics · Transforms · Workers

Evaluate the model for the job.

Compare the task, permitted inputs, quality threshold and fallback. Evaluate model choices against those requirements.

Forecasts · Classifiers · Language models · Embeddings · Rules · Optimizers · Scoring · Anomaly models · Evaluations · Retrieval · Model endpoints · Human review

Meet the operation where it happens.

Identify where people plan, investigate and approve work. Any write-back needs a scoped interface and an acknowledgement.

ERP · CRM · Service desk · Maintenance · Planning · Inventory · Work orders · Dashboards · Internal tools · APIs · Notifications · Approvals

Set the deployment boundaries.

Review residency, networking, identity and operating ownership. Use these boundaries to evaluate a deployment design.

Cloud · Private network · Edge · On premises · Regions · Identity · Observability · Secrets · Storage · Networks · Recovery · Release process

Start with the interfaces, permissions and ownership required for your workflow.

03 / Understand the architecture

The whole story is in the connections.

Follow one late shipment from the first alert to a reviewed response.

01 / Existing systems

First, know what changed.

Shipment BG-247 is running six hours late. The carrier update is useful because its source, time and owner travel with it.

Observed: Arrival changed · ETA +6h · Source: Carrier status feed · 09:20 UTC

02 / Connected context

Then, see what it touches.

The shipment is connected to an order, limited stock, a receiving window and a customer promise. A stale schedule stays visible for review.

Connected: Order → stock → receiving → customer · Freshness: Receiving window is stale

03 / Accountable action

Finally, put a person in control.

A logistics coordinator compares feasible responses and approves one. The instruction needs an acknowledgement; the actual arrival becomes evidence for the next decision.

Authority: Logistics coordinator · Closed when: Action acknowledged · result observed

03B / From signal to action

One signal. The whole picture.

A delayed arrival is only the beginning. See how its consequences become visible, a person chooses a response, and the result comes back.

Signal / An inbound shipment slips.

A revised arrival time puts a scheduled delivery at risk. The alert is a starting point, not a recommendation.

Context / See what depends on it.

Connect the shipment to its order, receiving window and available stock. Flag any missing or outdated source before evaluating a response.

Intelligence / Compare the available responses.

In this scenario, holding the order or using another route are the options. Compare delivery commitments, capacity and cost; expose unknowns.

Decision / Put the choice with the operator.

Compare the evidence and constraints before selecting a response. A model suggestion does not authorize an operational change.

Action / Coordinate the approved response.

An approved instruction needs to reach its owner and receive an acknowledgement. Keep failed or incomplete requests visible for follow-up.

Feedback / Bring the result into the next review.

Compare the eventual delivery with the plan. Keep the decision and its outcome together; learning requires review, not an assumption that every action succeeded.

This is an illustrative workflow. No live instruction is sent.

01 / Connect

Data Layer

Bring fragmented systems into a shared operational context.

Connect the information your teams depend on. Preserve its provenance, define meaningful relationships, and make it available within clear access boundaries.

02 / Understand

Intelligence Layer

Turn connected information into informed next steps.

Place models and analytical reasoning alongside governed data. Give teams the context to evaluate a recommendation, investigate uncertainty, and exercise judgment.

03 / Act

Operations Layer

Close the distance between an insight and a decision.

Bring information, decisions, and actions into one working context. Coordinate responses across teams while keeping ownership and approval boundaries explicit.

04 / Adapt

Deployment Layer

Keep the operational picture clear as conditions change.

Design deployments around real operating constraints. Make system health visible and plan change with clear controls and recovery paths.

Sources / Systems

Start with the operational systems, documents, and events that hold the evidence.

Select a layer to explore

Security + Governance
Trust / Access and accountability

Security should follow the decision.

Before connecting a source or enabling an action, define who can see the information, who can change it and how a decision will be reviewed.

Access to context

Define the identities and roles that need access to each source, record and model input. Test both permitted access and denied requests.

Authority to act

Identify which changes require approval and who can authorize them. Define how actions are scoped, acknowledged, retried and stopped.

Evidence over time

Connect source information, evaluation, operator decisions and system responses. Set requirements for retention and inspection.
