Annual programme

For when one-off testing doesn't match how you actually ship and operate.

Recurring testing on a calendar.

Some teams want testing tied to release cycles or quarterly reviews rather than booked ad-hoc. The annual programme is a way to run that work on a predictable cadence with the same people each time.

  • CadenceAgreed up front — usually a deep dive each quarter, with lighter checks aligned to releases or change windows.
  • CoverageMix of application, infrastructure, identity, and detection testing. Adversary simulation when it makes sense.
  • ReportingPer-cycle findings plus a quarterly summary. Annual review of trend, posture, and what to focus on next.
  • Follow-upRe-testing of remediated findings is scheduled into the programme cadence.
  • ComplianceMapping to PCI DSS, CPS 234, ISO 27001, Essential Eight when you need to evidence testing for an audit.

// What it isn't: a SOC, a scanner subscription, or a compliance tick-box without testing.
