3. Review ransomware, Microsoft 365, cloud, endpoint, and third-party incident scenarios through tabletop and technical testing.

4. Build a remediation roadmap with owners, target dates, change controls, rollback plans, and evidence requirements.

5. Reassess periodically and after incidents, major technology changes, cloud migrations, vendor changes, and business growth.
