BY ROLE · CIO & CTO

Security by design, at the speed of your roadmap.

Your projects rarely slip because security was too demanding. They slip because it arrived last, from outside the team, in a language delivery does not speak. Mindlapse moves the decision to the start: the project owner declares the initiative in business words, Ernest drafts the analysis, your experts validate, and the project ships with its controls and its evidence attached.

One intake for every initiative · Business, IT and security on one record · Closure proven, not declared

  • Baseline controls accepted
  • Ernest analysis validated by an analyst
  • Derogation on the legacy billing interface
  • Supplier action plan agreed

Step incomplete

To continue: the derogation needs its compensating measures and an expiry.

The project keeps moving; what is not yet proven is named, owned and dated.

THE SITUATION

Cyber is rarely too strict. It is almost always too late.

  1. Security speaks after the decisions are made

    The architecture is chosen, the vendor signed, the data model frozen. Every finding is now a renegotiation, and the delay is yours to explain.

  2. One process for a microsite and a core migration

    The same forms for both: too heavy for one, too light for the other, and delivery learns to route around both.

  3. Nobody on the project speaks control language

    The questionnaire was written for auditors. The project owner guesses, the analyst re-does the work, and the answer helped no one.

  4. The platform you cannot retire

    End of life, business critical, and its risk lives in a slide from three years ago that nobody owns.

WHAT MINDLAPSE CHANGES

Security by design becomes the fastest way to ship.

  1. Surface: Security by Design

    One intake, a path proportionate to the risk

    Every initiative declares itself once, in business words; criticality and exposure route it to the assisted fast track or to analyst review, and a person validates on both. Nothing runs in your pipeline and no code is scanned.

    Learn more

  2. Surface: Risk Analysis

    Ernest drafts, your experts decide

    The analysis, the baseline controls and the residual risk arrive proposed, each with a confidence level and its sources; accepting, correcting or rejecting is an explicit act, recorded with the person who made it.

    Learn more

  3. Surface: Action queue

    Every stakeholder on the same record

    The project owner, the architect, the DPO and the supplier contact work one record; assignments, approvals, deadlines and alerts reach the Slack and Microsoft Teams channels you configure. Jira and ServiceNow are in the catalog with activation to come, and no cloud, identity or EDR connector is live.

    Learn more

  4. Surface: Derogation lane

    What cannot be met yet is dated, not hidden

    A requirement the project cannot meet becomes a derogation: a risk assessment at the gate, approval at the right level with the trail attached, compensating measures tracked as actions, scored coverage, and an expiry that reopens the decision.

    Learn more

  5. Surface: Control Atlas

    Proof instead of a status field

    An action closes on evidence: the changed control, the attached artefact, the re-scored risk, and the trail says who verified it. The evidence keeps its date and its source, so what has aged is visible before the auditor finds it.

    Learn more

  6. Surface: Value Chain Map

    Activities, not instances

    The chain models the activities the business runs and the systems that serve them, each with an owner and a criticality, so a project shows what it touches and what depends on it. Not a CMDB: no hostnames, no instances.

YOUR WEEK, YOUR QUARTER

The week belongs to delivery; the quarter is where the promises come due.

Security keeps pace with delivery when the decision happens at the start, the routine is assisted, and closure is granted on evidence.

A CIO week, then the quarter Illustrative data

Your week

  1. MON 09:15

    The replatforming declared itself at intake, in business words.

    Criticality and exposure routed it to analyst review; two low-exposure changes took the assisted fast track the same morning.

    Surface: Security by Design

  2. TUE 11:30

    The analysis of the new customer portal was due.

    Ernest proposed it with its sources and a confidence level; your analyst accepted two recommendations, rejected one, and the trail kept both decisions.

    Surface: Risk Analysis

  3. alert: WED 14:00

    The legacy billing interface could not meet the requirement.

    It entered the derogation lane with compensating measures, an approver at the right level and an expiry that reopens the decision.

    Surface: Derogation lane

  4. THU 10:00

    The architect, the DPO and the supplier were each waiting on the others.

    The action plan named all three on one record, and the assignments and deadlines reached the team’s Microsoft Teams channel.

    Surface: Action queue

  5. verified: FRI 15:00

    The go-live review met.

    It read the same board as security: every action by stage, and closure granted on the evidence attached, not on a status.

    Surface: Lifecycle board

Your quarter

  1. WEEK 3

    Obsolescence review.

    Every derogation with its expiry, its coverage and its weight on posture, on one lane.

    Surface: Derogation lane

  2. WEEK 8

    The outsourcer’s renewal.

    Assessed in the context of the service it runs; its remediation a joint action plan that both sides accept, reject or counter-propose.

    Surface: Supplier Hub

  3. WEEK 12

    IT steering.

    Closure rates and SLA delivery by organization, read from the queue, not rebuilt for the meeting.

    Surface: SLA scoreboard

Illustrative week: the moments are fictional, the surfaces are the product’s.

FAQ

The CIO asks

What does my delivery team actually have to do?

A few minutes at intake. The project owner answers a wizard in business words: what the initiative does, its exposure, the data it touches. The security translation, classification, baseline controls and analysis happen on the platform side, and the routing follows from that declaration.

Does Mindlapse hook into our CI/CD pipeline or scan our code?

No. Nothing runs in your pipeline and no code is scanned. The shift-left is one of governance: the decision, the baseline controls and the exception are settled before and during build, and your engineering toolchain keeps doing what it does.

Does the AI decide in place of my architects?

No. Ernest proposes, with a confidence level and the sources behind each suggestion, and a person accepts, corrects or rejects; the decision is written to the trail with the name of whoever made it. The models are open-source, hosted in Europe, and never trained on your data.

Who needs to be on the platform, and what does a seat cost?

Everyone the project touches: project owners, architects, the DPO, internal audit, your suppliers’ contacts. Users are contractually unlimited and the subscription is set by the headcount band of the organization in scope, so nobody is left off the record to save a seat.

How do we prove, at go-live and at audit, that the project did what it said?

From the records that ran the project. An action closes on evidence, the changed control, the attached artefact, the re-scored risk, and the trail says who verified it. Ernest checks a claim against the evidence on file and returns a verdict with its sources, or says it cannot.

PROJECTS THAT SHIP

Bring the project starting next month. Leave with its security path, decided and dated.

A live session on your delivery flow: intake in business words, routing, the draft your experts validate, closure on evidence.

Refusing is exactly as easy as accepting, and nothing is pre-selected. Your choice is kept for 6 months and can be changed at any time from the footer.
