Totally agree on the importance of early engagement with external experts. A lot of teams underestimate just how much lift goes into solid documentation and managing third-party risk. The reality is, the challenges shift as you move through the process... so your approach has to stay flexible and keep evolving.

The streamlining of processes and reporting is where it can rub the wrong way. Often times, too much friction is what results in the circumventing of controls, taking the easy way out, shadow IT and AI. Always important to make cybersecurity as frictionless as possible to allow adoption with the right mindset and in the most efficient way possible.
