Headline finding
PD BYOD is a mobile application, so some assessment questions may not be directly applicable. Items such as Infrastructure as Code, automated vertical and horizontal scaling, or recent production rollback/deployment practices are more relevant to backend or infrastructure-managed components than to the mobile app itself.
Primary modernization lever: Resilience & Recovery

Score vs. gap by dimension

Prioritized remediation

Ensure all secrets and cryptographic keys, including private and public keys, are properly managed using an approved central vault or secrets management solution.
IAM, Privacy & Security Impact Medium Effort Low
Access to secrets, keys, and privileged permissions should follow least-privilege principles, be regularly reviewed, formally certified, and rotated or revoked when no longer required.
IAM, Privacy & Security Impact Low Effort Low
Ensure the system follows approved internal standards like Mobile Research Platform blueprint.
Platform / Hosting / Infrastructure Impact High Effort High
Define and maintain measurable SLAs and SLOs (that make sense) and aligned with business criticality and stakeholder expectations. These should have clear ownership, and a regular review cadence.
Reliability Impact Low Effort Medium
Define documented RTO and RPO targets. These targets should be aligned with business impact and approved by system owners.
Resilience & Recovery Impact Low Effort Low
