This might be a bit of a long shot, but does anyone have some great examples of questions and answers pertaining to #infosec and #cybersecurity that you'd get, as a company from your clients?

I know in the past I've had clients ask for stuff like longer log or backups retention, etc. but what sorts of questions are usually expected?

Thanks very much in advance and please boost far and wide!
