Cyber BAMCIS

Our method for planning and running every engagement, adapted from the troop-leading steps the Marine Corps teaches its leaders.

Why a method matters

Security work fails in the seams: between what leadership wants and what the team hears, between the plan and what actually ships.

Cyber BAMCIS closes those seams with a sequence every stakeholder can follow. Decisions are made on facts gathered first-hand, every step has an owner, and nothing is left to interpretation. It is the same discipline military leaders use to plan under pressure, applied to your security and compliance work.

The six steps

  1. Begin planning

    We start with your leadership: the objective, the constraints, the deadline and the decision the work has to support. Everyone signs up to the same definition of done before anything else happens.

  2. Arrange reconnaissance

    We identify who we need to talk to, which systems and documents we need access to, and in what order, so assessment time is spent learning, not waiting.

  3. Make reconnaissance

    We look at how things actually run, not how the policy says they run: interviews, configuration reviews and evidence sampling.

  4. Complete reconnaissance

    Findings are checked with the people who own the systems, gaps are confirmed, and open questions are closed before anything reaches a report.

  5. Issue the order

    You get a plan leadership can act on: what to fix, in what order, who owns it, what it costs and when it will be done.

  6. Supervise

    We stay with execution, track progress against the plan and adjust as conditions change, until the result is in place and the evidence proves it.

We teach it, too

Once your leaders plan and decide the same way, your team gets faster and more consistent under pressure. We train it in four stages.

  1. Brief

    Introduce the method, and why it works, to your leadership team.

  2. Train

    Practice it on scenarios drawn from your own environment.

  3. Embed

    Write it into policy, incident response and change management.

  4. Sustain

    Reinforce it as your team, your systems and the threats change.

The result

From two to three hours to fifteen minutes

A senior executive responsible for incident response reported that Cyber BAMCIS reduced their response time from 2–3 hours to 15 minutes to resolution.
