Open shares, over-permissioned accounts, or sensitive data in places it shouldn't be. The clock is now compliance-driven, and discovery has to come before controls.
You can't remediate what you can't see, and you can't pass the follow-up review without evidence. The right first move is discovery and access visibility — find where sensitive data lives and who can reach it — before buying a detection layer nobody has time to tune.
This trigger maps to Discovery & classification and Access governance. Start from platforms strong in those capabilities — filter the ledger by them, or begin with these:
Classification accuracy on your real data, not the demo. Ask for false-negative rates — an audit fails on the sensitive record a tool missed, not the one it flagged twice.
Illustrative sample data for the build. Platform suggestions are placeholders pending evidence-linked verification.
