As teams grow, manual security enforcement stops working. Define what you need (like MFA), measure the manual effort, then find tools to automate it. Don't buy tools without clear success metrics, or you'll end up like someone at Costco on an empty stomach.
So I think like process, when you're a smaller company and there's less people, then your automation enforcement's easier because there's 5 people. If you're dispersed and you've got, you know, 20, 40, 50 now in different states, that's when you wanna lean more on the technology 'cause you need to have that extra like automation enforcement behind the scenes. So define like the process first. Hey, if we handle this data, we use these tools, this is how we're gonna do it. We're gonna recommend to do, you know, or require MFA. As you get larger You can't just shout that to the person next to you or text that person. Now you look at the tech, okay, what can the tool enforce when I'm not around? And that's kind of how I kind of back into it is like, what is my man hours going into enforcing this process? But the first thing is to find that control or process of what our company policy is and then look at like, okay, these tools can enable that or speed it up. But I always say you walk in the tool first without like a success criteria. It's like going to the grocery store hungry. If I go to Costco without an idea, I'm walking out a broke man.
