Architect · Strategy
A list of security gaps is not a plan. Closing them in the wrong order wastes effort and leaves you exposed where it matters while you polish where it does not. We turn the gap into a sequenced roadmap, prioritised by risk and dependency, that your board can back and your team can execute, with the reasoning behind every sequence decision written down.
Scope agreed in writing before any work. No obligation.
An assessment has told you what is wrong. Now you need the order and the dependencies, turned into something you can act on, not a backlog of equal-looking line items.
You need a security plan a board will approve: sequenced, prioritised, tied to risk, and defensible when someone asks why this and not that.
Initiatives are underway with no shared sequence, dependencies are tripping each other, and effort is being spent out of order. The roadmap gives everyone one plan to build to.
What you are commissioning
One named engagement from the Architect track backs this page. Scope is sized to your program and agreed in writing before any work begins.
Architect trackTypically 3–5 weeks
A sequenced path from where you are to the target state.
Best for leaders who need a defensible plan.

The method
Initiatives are ordered by the risk they retire and the dependencies between them, so foundational work lands before the things that rely on it and the highest exposure is closed first. The sequence is the value, and the reasoning behind it is shown, not asserted.
Each initiative is placed by the risk it retires and the effort it takes, so the plan is a real set of decisions, not a wish list. Where two paths are viable, the trade-off is laid out for you to decide rather than buried.
The roadmap reads at board altitude and at delivery altitude from the same source: an executive sees the priorities and the risk story; a delivery lead sees the dependencies and the order of work. They are not two documents that drift apart.
The roadmap sequences the path toward a defined target architecture, so it is a route to a destination rather than a list of improvements with no end state. Where the destination is not yet designed, we say so and scope it.
Where it fits
The roadmap sits between the diagnosis and the build, and it is what stops a good assessment dying in a drawer.
It turns an Assess gap register into a sequenced, prioritised plan
It sequences toward the Architect target state, not into the void
It becomes the plan the Build track executes against
Questions
The register tells you what is wrong; the roadmap tells you what to do about it, in what order, and why. It adds sequencing and dependency to the findings, turning a list into a plan a board can back and a team can run.
Every initiative is placed by the risk it retires and what it depends on, and that reasoning is written down beside it. So when someone asks why this came before that, the answer is on the page rather than in someone's head.
Usually a twelve-to-twenty-four-month horizon, with the near term sequenced in detail and the later horizon shaped rather than over-specified, because a plan that pretends to know month eighteen precisely is fiction. It is meant to be kept live as the business changes.
Yes. Under Operate, the roadmap is maintained as a living plan rather than a document that ages, so it tracks the business and the threat landscape instead of being rewritten from scratch each year.
A sequenced roadmap and a delivery plan, written to be read by your board and executed by your team, sequencing the path toward your target-state architecture.
