Do you already have security controls in place?
Like your home security, you may discover that your sysops team (or sysadmins) have already put in place basic security or better. It is their second nature, and codifying what is already in place, is a great place to start. You might be surprised that more than 50% of what is needed is already in place. It just needs to be formalized.
