Do you access production data?
In past engagements, the methodology used configs, billing exports, schemas, and aggregated charts-often via screen sharing-not raw production PII by default. Optional tenant-only access was under NDA/DPA when required.
Do you implement changes?
The 2-week audit methodology provided analysis & recommendations. Implementation was a separate follow-on in past work. No implementation services are offered through this site while employed full-time.
Where is work processed?
EU-only was the standard in past engagements. No sub-processors without written consent.
How long do you keep working notes?
<= 30 days after delivery, then deleted (past engagement policy).
