Source Evidence & Verification Methodology

Grounded in expert cybersecurity consensus (Quora security discussion): "Businesses should regularly test their security controls instead of assuming they work. They can conduct vulnerability assessments, authorized penetration testing, phishing simulations, access-control reviews, backup recovery tests, and security monitoring exercises... Use MFA, keep software updated, limit access to sensitive data, and train employees to spot phishing attempts."
