Discovery conversation
Start with the real trigger.
Discuss the deadline, request, concern, or leadership question that prompted the conversation. Identify the parties involved and what a useful outcome would look like.
How it works
Leadership, coordination, and reporting around the work you already have.
Moat gives cybersecurity priorities an operating structure: an agreed scope, named responsibilities, visible actions, and regular decisions for leadership.
Scope and initial priorities
Define the work before it begins.
Agree on the objective, immediate priorities, responsibilities, dependencies, and reporting cadence. If a substantial assessment is needed, it is defined as a separate scope.
Ongoing coordination and reporting
Keep action and decisions moving.
Maintain the action register, coordinate providers and internal owners, surface blockers, and give leadership a concise view of progress and decisions.
Responsibilities
Everyone keeps a clear role.
Client leadership
Approves priorities, budget, business tradeoffs, and risk decisions. Authorizes coordination with providers and specialists.
Moat
Leads planning, clarifies responsibilities, maintains the action structure, coordinates agreed parties, and reports progress.
IT providers and specialists
Recommend and implement technical work within their agreed scope, with client authorization and clear dependencies.
Scope boundaries
Coordination is valuable because the boundaries are explicit.
Moat’s role is fractional cybersecurity leadership. The engagement does not imply unlimited technical services or authority over another provider.
