Security Review Pushback ​

Situation ​

Security, compliance, or platform teams delay approval, ask for more detail, or challenge the deployment approach.

What the customer may say ​

"Security won't approve this until every control is documented."

What you should say ​

"That makes sense. Let's identify which controls are approval blockers versus documentation follow-ups, map each one to evidence, and agree who owns the review path."

What not to say ​

"Security reviews are usually just paperwork."

Follow-up question ​

"Which specific control, policy, or approver is preventing us from moving to the next step?"
