This might be a good start, but it makes me a little uncomfortable. In a true incident, there is a metric ton of stuff that I would not want to be discoverable. I like to set aside an area with locked-down access to keep the truly toxic material found during a serious incident.
And for startups or other small companies reading this--the things mentioned here should not be a big deal or take enormous time to do. The earlier you do what is recommended in the post, the happier everyone will be.
I'm reminded of my Dad's saying: Tires are like insurance: When you need it, it is too late.

- superq 7y agoThat's a good point. Even just using Github or Gitlab issues to track incidents with approvals is better than nothing.
