Reviewing, Patching, and Hardening: Decluttering Digital Infrastructure

Episode 17   Published April 15, 2025 12 minute watch

Summary

Digital spring cleaning works best as a recurring discipline. Treat it as routine, and it stops being a once-a-year scramble. Jason Kikta walks through using a designated day to catch up on patches when a restrictive policy leaves internal systems behind. He sets retention limits on Slack, Teams, and email while keeping Confluence or SharePoint as long-term knowledge repositories. He also scans the network to surface forgotten assets. Pace the work across the year and align it with compliance events like a SOC 2 audit. That way you stay audit-ready at any time.
