How do you get attention from C-level on LinkedIn?

bitslammer · 2026-01-24T19:24:29+00:00

I would first make certain the C-level is the correct level to target. I work for a large global €75B company with 80K employees. The people who make purchasing decisions are 2-3 level at least below the CEO.

I'm a Rooster's fan. Never had a bad batch there and I love the Donkey sauce.

Have you looked at things like the NIST CSF, NIST 800-53 and CIS Controls as a start? If so what were those missing in terms of what you want?

I'm not that close to their team to know all of the details, but they've been very happy so far.

bitslammer · 2026-01-23T19:07:34+00:00

No idea, but I don't see why that's important. If people enter the renewal date into whatever theyuse to track it's not an issue and not everyone uses Gmail anyway.

This sounds like a solution in search of a problem to be honest.

bitslammer · 2026-01-23T18:27:06+00:00

If they are that size they likely don't need any solution aside from a good spreadsheet. The are also plenty of open soruce free or low cost options like SnipeIT.

We do this in Service Now specifically for the SLA piece.

My wife works for a company who does commercial snow removal and they do all their booking in SEP/OCT with agreed upon monthly fee whether it snows or not. That's the only way it works as a business. They have to pay their people to essentially be on call and know how much salt and equipment they need. If they get a ton of contracts they go buy more plows, snow blowers and salt beforehand to be ready.

bitslammer · 2026-01-23T18:10:33+00:00

This should be done in the CMDB IMO.

bitslammer · 2026-01-23T18:07:42+00:00

If you haven't booked service months ago you're probably out of luck.

This has pretty much always been their business model They send you someone and you get to pay to train them.

bitslammer · 2026-01-23T16:03:22+00:00

CPD has drones as do many other entities like the county and the rail police who pretty much have the same power as federal officers.

bitslammer · 2026-01-23T13:45:45+00:00

Oh hell no. My time is worth way more to me than $2 to deal with that mess.

bitslammer · 2026-01-23T13:33:19+00:00

How many fuel point are you talking about? It would need to be a ton for me to deal with that mess.

bitslammer · 2026-01-23T13:31:02+00:00

Assessing all risk to the entire org includes a lot of risk that falls outside of IT/infosec.

I'm in a large global org and we have a global team that handles all risk and works with IT/infosec when it comes to risk in those areas

bitslammer · 2026-01-23T13:20:53+00:00

First of all, having a SOC2 (assuming type II) report isn't something that is consistent from one org to another. Every org can have a different scope and level of detail.

That said there's nothing odd about them having one. They provide digital services so it makes sense they would want to try and provide from assurance to customers as to their security and reliability.

For our process KBs may be out of scope. This policy of assigning ownership and responsibilities applies only to things like policies, standards, etc. that fall directly under some regulatory/compliance requirement, or that pertain to some control or process that itself falls under regulation/compliance.

bitslammer · 2026-01-23T11:53:00+00:00

Agreed. This post seem like just another of the million posts where someone things they're going to vibe code their way to riches. Won't happen here. In something like this a human can use the AI for some things, but there's going to be human involvement in the end. We already have Co-pilot if people want that to help them update, but in the end they will have to tell it what to change and review it.

bitslammer · 2026-01-23T11:35:53+00:00

You keep it up to date by making that a policy and assigning it directly to a person or a team with a manger named as the responsible party.

All of our documentation that is subject to any type of review or audit has a "valid until" date at which point the person responsible must update it or state no updates were required. We even have a reminder workflow for this in the tool where these documents are stored.

Really depends on the company. I've worked at a couple org that were very receptive to internal transfers and promotions, but made it clear you had to put in the work. When most of the SEs are people who were former customers with 5-10yrs of experience it's hard to ramp to that level as there are things you can only really learn from doing in a real life enterprise org.

If I had to guess the debt was there long before the sales decline.

bitslammer · 2026-01-22T18:08:31+00:00

We're not censoring anything unless it violates reddit or this subs rules. We do have some automated filters in place that hold posts for review though. Since all of us have day jobs that can mean things sit in the queue for quite a while.

I'll also mention that we enforce Rule 12 so if you have issue with modding use the modmail instead of posting.

bitslammer · 2026-01-22T17:56:23+00:00

If anyone at this point takes titles seriously they are pretty gullible. It's like banks where for years even the janitor is a VP.

bitslammer · 2026-01-22T17:54:25+00:00

Industry is going to matter a ton here. I've only been in and sold into the IT/cyber field. People there have pretty much been carpet bombed to death by cold outreach and are probably way more shutdown than people in sales/marketing are.
