SaaS CTO Security Checklist

A recovered live source for the Goldfig security checklist, covering people, accounts, applications, and operations.

The idea to take with you

A useful security checklist must turn into owned controls with evidence. Reading or checking a box does not establish protection.

What to look for

  1. 01

    Identify sensitive accounts and enforce stronger authentication.

  2. 02

    Make onboarding, device handling, and access removal explicit.

  3. 03

    Verify that safeguards work instead of assuming a policy is followed.

Keep in mind

Historical reference, not a complete current security standard. Old product-specific instructions and authentication examples need current official guidance.

Put it to work

Try this next

Choose one privileged account and verify its owner, authentication, recovery process, and removal procedure. Record the evidence and unresolved gap.
