What situation is the Architecting a Dual-Market Security Program for?
Security leaders waste cycles reformatting control mappings, audit evidence, and compliance narratives for different markets, even when the underlying controls are the same. This duplication erodes trust, delays go-to-market, and turns hard-won certifications into one-time wins instead of reusable assets.
