Scope and timeline agreed after reviewing your infrastructure

Make client access, recovery, and security evidence easier to defend.

A practical readiness engagement for small remote teams and businesses facing a customer security requirement, uncertain contractor access, or an operational risk without a clear owner. Scope and timing follow an initial review of your environment.

What an agreed engagement can cover

Priority controls and a usable handover.

Depending on the agreed scope, REX5 can review access to critical systems, endpoint and backup practices, and the records behind customer security answers. Former freelancers with access, shared administrator accounts, an incoming questionnaire, or an untested backup are examples of possible triggers, not a promise to assess every system.

Inventory of people, administrator accounts, critical systems, data, and access paths
Review of MFA, password management, privileged access, and contractor lifecycle
Review of endpoints, backup recovery, monitoring, and available evidence
Agreed priority changes implemented where authorised
Written findings, evidence gaps, named owners, and a prioritised remediation roadmap
Leadership handover in plain language, with a walkthrough if useful

Indicative sequence

How REX5 scopes and delivers the work.

01
Understand
Gather the system overview, known concerns, customer requirements, documentation, dependencies, available authority, and desired deadline.
02
Agree
Propose systems in scope, deliverables, exclusions, responsibilities, price, prerequisites, and an achievable schedule in writing.
03
Improve
Review agreed controls and make authorised changes within the accepted scope.
04
Hand over
Provide findings, evidence, owners, and a prioritised remediation roadmap.

REX5 proposes a realistic timeline only after understanding the environment and agreeing scope. A requested deadline helps assess feasibility; it is not a delivery commitment.

What REX5 needs from you

A clear contact and scoped access.

For the first email, describe your concern or customer requirement, the systems you know are involved, and any deadline. No privileged credentials are needed for that first conversation. During scoping, REX5 can identify a contact, relevant documentation, dependencies, access needs, change authority, and coordination with your IT provider.

You receive a written proposal with agreed scope, deliverables, exclusions, responsibilities, price, prerequisites, and timeline before delivery begins. Fixed scope and fixed price are possible after this review. If understanding the environment needs a substantial technical assessment, REX5 defines that work separately before undertaking it.

Illustrative deliverable · fictional example

What a clear handover looks like.

This fictional sample shows the format only. It is not evidence from a client engagement.

Illustrative deliverable · fictional example
Area	Example finding	Agreed next action	Owner	Evidence to collect
Contractor access	Leaver access has not been reviewed	Confirm the leaver list and remove authorised access	Business operations lead	Access-review record
Recovery	Restore capability has not been demonstrated	Schedule a scoped restore test	IT provider	Restore-test record
Customer questionnaire	Answers lack supporting records	Map answers to existing controls and evidence gaps	Business owner	Evidence register

Scope boundaries

A strong fit when

A customer review or questionnaire is approaching
Contractor access or administrator ownership is uncertain
Backups exist but recovery has not been tested
You need priority fixes and a practical follow-up plan

Outside the agreed engagement

Formal SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification
Penetration testing or legal compliance opinions
24/7 incident response coverage
Unlimited technology transformation

Questions before starting

Practical answers.

How long will it take?

REX5 proposes a timeline after reviewing your infrastructure and agreeing the scope. The schedule depends on the systems involved, available access, existing documentation, change windows, and coordination with your team or providers. Tell REX5 about any deadline so REX5 can assess whether it is achievable.

Can REX5 work with an existing IT provider?

Yes. REX5 coordinates responsibilities and change windows with them. Your business retains control of accounts and decisions.

Can this be delivered remotely?

Yes. REX5 uses written intake and scoped access, with meetings when they help resolve decisions.

Who owns the business and client accounts?

Your business and its clients keep ownership. REX5 works only within the access and authority you approve.

Does this provide certification or guarantee a customer review?

No. The engagement improves agreed controls and documents evidence. Certification and customer decisions remain separate processes.

Do REX5 needs an initial phone call?

No. Start by email. REX5 can arrange a call later if it will help scope or deliver the work.
