Problem to evidence, without losing ownership.
The exact work plan is agreed before activity begins.
01
Confirm scope
Identify systems, identities, constraints, authority and intended outcomes.
02
Assess or onboard
Perform the selected assessment or establish agreed operational sources and responsibilities.
03
Prioritise
Relate evidence to business context and assign accountable remediation.
04
Verify
Use retest, review or operational evidence to assess the outcome.
Guardian role
An operating layer where ongoing ownership adds value.
Guardian connects relevant findings, risks, actions and evidence; it is not forced into work where it adds no value.
GU
Guardian capability
Review the approved public capability and its explicit commercial boundaries.

Know what the work can—and cannot—establish.
Only expressly authorised targets are tested. Monitoring observations do not establish compromise.
Outputs can include confirmed scope, coverage, findings, evidence, prioritised remediation, action ownership and verification status. Point-in-time work cannot establish conditions outside the authorised scope.
Choose the next practical step
Confirm scope before testing or operation begins.
Damocles will confirm whether assessment, managed security, Guardian workflow or a blended path fits the problem.
