The moment that matters
A bigger client asks questions.
Your agency needs answers.
The risk is rarely one dramatic breach. It is former freelancers with access, unmanaged devices, untested backups, and controls that nobody clearly owns.
Access has grown informally
Freelancers, former staff, and admin accounts make it hard to know who can reach what.
Recovery is assumed, not proven
You have backups, but no one has tested whether the agency can actually restore them.
No one owns it end to end
Onboarding, offboarding, devices, SaaS access, and security sit across too many people.
