Before your first IT hire

IT landed on you

You are a CTO, a Head of Ops, or the technical founder, and identity quietly became your job. Nobody was hired for it. Here is the short version: what you are actually on the hook for, and the few things to get right before it bites you in an audit or an incident.

This is you if

  • No one formally owns IT yet
  • You set up Google Workspace and Okta once and moved on
  • People leave and you are not certain their access is fully gone
  • A customer security review or first audit is coming

Who this is for: CTO, Head of Ops, or founder running IT on the side.
