Holy those checklists are the bane of my existence. For example demanding 2FA for email, which is impossible if you self host, unless you force everyone to use RoundCube, but then you have to answer to the CEO why he can’t get email on his iPhone in the mail app.

Or just loads of other stuff that really only applies to large Fortune 500 size companies. My small startups certainly don’t have a network engineer on staff who has created a network topology graph and various policies pertaining to it, etc etc. the list goes on, I could name 100s of absurd requirements these insurance companies want that don’t actually add any level of security to the organization, and absolutely do not apply to small scale shops.

I'm mostly with you (see my other comment) but MFA on email really is table stakes and your CEO will be the first to be phished without it.

Why is 2FA impossible if you self host?
