Nadia's spot check at Kelvin College: a field of tiles standing for the college's hundreds of user accounts, with five picked fairly and circled as the sample — three proven with a green tick, two flagged amber because they still belong to people who left; a backup claim, 'all running fine', set against real evidence, restoring last night's file today, with last year's screenshot rejected; and the no-blame finding — leavers' accounts aren't being closed — taken through fix, owner and re-check until it is closed and stays closed.

The Spot Check — Checking Your Security by Evidence, Not Assuming

The checker's craft in plain words: find out whether your security basics are actually being done by looking, not assuming. Know the field of what could be checked, check a fair sample by evidence rather than by what people say, and turn the gaps into blameless findings that get closed and stay closed.

What you'll learn

  • Check rather than assume — find out whether the basics are done by looking, and know the field of the few that actually matter.
  • Check a fair sample rather than everything, and judge by evidence you can see — 'show me', kindly but firmly — not by what people tell you.
  • Treat the gaps you find as blameless findings, close them, and re-check the fixes stuck; check the things that matter on a repeat.
  • See through 'we checked once, we're fine' and 'it's just a tick-box' — producing real assurance, not its costume.
