The Control Checklist

True engineering control means you can survive the loss of any single vendor, employee, or datacenter. Most companies fail this test.

1. Access & Identity

  • Do you have a 'break-glass' admin account that is not tied to an individual's email?
  • Is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enforced on ALL admin accounts?
  • Do you have a centralized audit log of who accessed what server and when?
  • Can you revoke an employee's access to everything in one click?

2. Disaster Recovery

  • Are your backups stored on a different provider than your servers?
  • Have you successfully restored a backup in the last 90 days?
  • Is your infrastructure defined as code (IaC), or did someone click buttons in the console?
  • Do you have a written incident response plan that everyone knows where to find?

3. Security Posture

  • Are your database ports blocked from the public internet?
  • Do you scan your dependencies for vulnerabilities (CVEs) automatically?
  • Are secrets (API keys) stored in a vault, not in the code repository?
  • Do you have a vulnerability disclosure policy for external researchers?

How to Score Yourself

  • 0-3 "No" answers: You are in the top 1% of secure organizations.
  • 4-8 "No" answers: You have significant technical debt and risk.
  • 9+ "No" answers: You are actively negligent. A breach is a matter of time.
