• Continuous Tuning: Maintain and optimise anti-malware and filtering controls so that
• security standards balance effectively against user productivity.
• Governance, Continuity & Collaboration
• Change Control: Adhere to and champion strict internal change control processes so
• that security enhancements and maintenance do not disrupt operational continuity.
• Security by Design: Partner with wider business units to conduct lightweight security
• and technical risk assessments on new third-party Saa S vendors and systems prior to
