The first step in defining core security and protection requirements during the Assess phase is to start
with high-level questions and pain points. This approach helps clarify the customer’s key concerns,
primary risks, and specific protection needs, providing a foundation to tailor the security solution
effectively. By focusing on these high-level issues, the assessment can be aligned with the customer’s
unique environment and strategic objectives.
SES Complete Implementation Curriculum outlines this initial step as critical for gathering relevant
information that shapes the direction of the security solution, ensuring it addresses the customer’s
main pain points and requirements comprehensively.
