Challenge
The team had partial controls in place but inconsistent evidence, unclear ownership, and schedule risk tied to broad initial scope.
Execution model
- Re-scoped in-scope systems and users to the actual contract data boundary.
- Mapped control owners by function with weekly artifact checkpoints.
- Aligned technical fixes and policy updates to one remediation backlog.
- Ran mock interview drills to validate consistency and traceability.
Results
- Reduced timeline uncertainty with measurable weekly completion targets.
- Improved control-to-evidence traceability across priority families.
- Enabled leadership reporting with clear status and residual risk.
