What this toolkit does

Tanasiom Aegis translates NCSC/IASME requirements into an actionable readiness workflow for non-technical SME decision-makers.

📊

📄
Downloadable templates
7 policy documents and implementation guides — Password Policy, MFA Guide, Patch Procedure, User Access Matrix, Incident Response, Firewall Rules, and Scope Definition.
