Organisations in this sector that close the gaps typically follow the same pattern.
Data access is documented, governed and auditable — providing the assurance evidence that contracts and oversight bodies require.
Third-party access is controlled, time-limited and documented — so the supply chain strengthens rather than weakens your assurance posture.
Devices, communications tools and mobile access are configured to match the environment's security requirements and reporting expectations.
Permissions, external sharing and Teams configuration are aligned with programme requirements and auditable against policy.
