In plain English:
RTO = how quickly you need systems back
RPO = how much data you can afford to lose
If those arenât written down and tested, youâre guessing under pressure.

Remote access is brilliant for productivity. Businesses and employees were not able to continue working during Covid without a RWP (remote working policy).
But, it's also one of the easiest ways attackers get in if remote access is not locked down properly.
A solid baseline usually includes MFA, device compliance checks, and conditional access rules that match how your team actually works.

Which users are inactive but still enabled?
