The documented payment-risk exposure is competing with a price comparison procurement can explain quickly.
The CISO needs a defensible case for protecting inboxes, while procurement needs a cost comparison it can take through approval.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My director keeps asking what would have happened if finance had acted on that email.”
Birke Assefa · Security Operations Analyst
Works on the prospect’s security team and investigated the suspicious payment-change email used in the evaluation.
What is at stake
A documented payment-change email reached an inbox, but procurement is leaning toward a lower per-mailbox quote. You must weigh a defensible BEC business case against the speed and simplicity of a price-led decision.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- documented BEC exposure vs price-led procurement
- technical validation vs economic justification
- speed to evaluation vs credible savings claims
- security urgency vs incumbent comfort
