The Reboot Standard
The things we never skip
Even when no one is watching. Especially then.
01
Backups rehearsed, not assumed
Tested and documented on a schedule, so recovery is a practiced motion
02
Mail that resists the trap
Advanced filtering and managed detection, not just the obvious spam
03
Access you can explain in one sentence
Least privilege by design, reviewed on a rhythm
04
Changes that keep their promises
Approved windows with a way back if something surprises us
05
Devices kept current without stealing the day
Scheduled patching after hours, on a predictable cadence
06
Vendor work coordinated and recorded
Named owners, clear notes, approvals logged
07
Reviews that connect security to your goals
Short, scheduled, and actually useful
