Security clauses need operational follow-through
Contractual security requirements only mean something if somebody checks and somebody acts when they are not met.
The clauses get negotiated carefully, signed, and then nobody owns them. Notification periods, control commitments and testing rights all need a person on your side who knows they exist. Procurement writes them; nobody operationalises them.
