Security recommendations

EtherAssist helps turn defensive findings into prioritised, customer-safe recommendations that can be tracked through remediation and validation.

Recommended security settings

Before you begin

  • Sign in with an account that has access to this area.
  • Confirm the organisation, tenant, or source material you need to work with.
  • Keep customer data, secrets, and screenshots within your organisation's handling policy.

Prerequisites

  • A scoped and authorised finding, audit note, or configuration concern.
  • Evidence that supports the finding.
  • Owner, priority, and target-date expectations if available.

Create a recommendation

  1. Describe the finding and affected environment.
  2. State the business or security impact.
  3. Ask EtherAssist to produce a recommendation with owner, evidence, priority, and validation steps.
  4. Review the recommendation for accuracy and scope.
  5. Track the action through your normal change or risk process.

Safety boundary

Keep security work defensive, scoped, and authorised. Do not ask for exploit steps, credential attacks, unrestricted scanning, or instructions that could harm systems.

Expected result

You have a clear remediation item that a security, IT, or compliance owner can review, approve, and validate.

Tips

  • Keep names, prompts, and configuration values specific to the task you are performing.
  • Check role, subscription, region, and tenant policy when a feature is not visible.
