Statement of Work

NoSec Stack Review — High-Level Statement of Work (Public-Version)

Objective

To reduce cybersecurity and IT complexity by identifying which controls, tools, and architectural decisions meaningfully reduce real-world risk—and which do not.

Scope of Work

NoSec conducts an independent, threat-first assessment of the organization’s current IT and cybersecurity environment. The engagement focuses on evaluating the effectiveness, necessity, and impact of existing security investments and architectural decisions.

Key Activities

• Review of existing security controls, tools, and configurations

• Analysis of system architecture and design assumptions

• Mapping of controls to relevant threat scenarios

• Identification of redundant, low-value, or non-impactful security measures

• Evaluation of cost vs. actual risk reduction

Deliverables

• Keep / Remove / Rework Framework for security controls and tools

• Cyber Waste Analysis identifying unnecessary spend and complexity

• Risk-Based Decision Rationale explaining what materially impacts attacker outcomes

• Simplification Roadmap outlining a path toward reduced complexity and improved resilience

Engagement Principles

• Independent and vendor-neutral analysis

• No tool sales or implementation bias

• Focus on measurable impact to real-world threats

• Emphasis on reduction over accumulation

Outcomes

• Reduced security and operational complexity

• Increased clarity in security decision-making

• Alignment between security investments and actual risk

• A more defensible and efficient technology environment
