Capabilities
Cybersecurity
Assessment, architecture, protection, identity, cloud security, incident preparedness, resilience, and managed security.
Capability overview
What this covers.
Cybersecurity is treated here as one layer of a security architecture rather than a separate discipline. The same principal, organization, staff, and premises appear on both sides of the digital line, and the decisions that reduce exposure usually cross it.
Protocol's cybersecurity work begins with what is being protected and who has access to it, then addresses architecture, identity, monitoring, and preparedness in that order.
Problems addressed
The conditions this work exists for.
01
Identity and access accumulate without review.
02
Personal and organizational digital exposure is undocumented.
03
Cloud and vendor configurations drift from their intended state.
04
Incident preparedness exists as a document rather than a practiced procedure.
05
Monitoring produces alerts nobody owns.
Assessment establishes the current state. Architecture defines the target. Integration brings systems and providers onto it. Management keeps it there as the environment changes.

Relevant audiences
Who this is delivered to.
The same capability is scoped differently for each environment below. What changes is the exposure being addressed, not the discipline.
How the work is held
Assessment establishes the current state, architecture defines the target, integration brings systems and providers onto it, and management keeps it there as the environment changes.
Relevant products
The systems supporting it.
Each product below is in development. The capability is delivered by people and process today, not by software.
Protocol engages cybersecurity against a described environment rather than a template.

Most engagements begin with a defined-scope assessment: what is being protected, what is in place, and where responsibility actually sits.
