Prioritize access governance by strengthening IAM, least privilege, MFA, and PAM to secure access. Then validate backups with test restores. Finally, address monitoring gaps by integrating SIEM, RMM, and consolidating vendors like Microsoft 365 Security to reduce risk and streamline IT control.
Prioritize recovery testing over mere backup storage to ensure data recoverability, minimize downtime, meet compliance (CJIS, HIPAA, NIST), and build resilient, audit-ready recovery strategies.
