<p>Security programs fail when they’re too heavy. Here’s the baseline I use for teams that need to move fast <em>and</em> stay safe.</p>
<p><img src="/blog/cybersecurity-baseline-growing-teams.svg" alt="Cybersecurity baseline graphic"></p>
<h2>The essentials</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>MFA everywhere</strong></li>
<li><strong>Centralized logging</strong></li>
<li><strong>Least privilege by default</strong></li>
</ul>
<h2>Process over panic</h2>
<p>Tighten access, monitor drift, and run small incident drills. Consistency is the real control.</p>
<p>Security is a product feature. When you treat it like one, teams adopt it naturally.</p>


Simple controls that reduce risk without slowing delivery.
