Episode 17 — Remediation Recommendations That Fit
This episode focuses on turning findings into recommendations that actually reduce risk, rather than generic advice that sounds correct but fails in practice. You’ll learn how to identify root causes, select control types that match the problem, and propose remediation steps that are realistic for the environment and constraints described. We’ll cover technical controls like hardening, patching, segmentation, and stronger authentication, as well as administrative and operational controls such as access governance, secure development practices, monitoring, and procedure updates. You’ll practice choosing between short-term compensating controls and long-term corrective actions, and you’ll learn how to prioritize recommendations based on impact, likelihood, effort, and dependency order. By the end, you’ll be able to write recommendations that are specific, testable, and aligned to the way organizations implement change.
