You base it off best practice and a framework. Your clients should have one. The standard one is NIST and it's really the bare minimum standards. You can also check HIPAA regs and things like ISACA and AICPA for bets practice and guidelines.

Your post is also pretty concerning. I've been hearing more and more about situations like this and from interviewing with firms.

I’m worried that my voice, communication style, and body language comes across as too effeminate for our straight clients and peers. I’m transitioning to sales now and am insecure that my personality and appearance may hinder sales gen? Client industry is very old school. Can LGBT partners//Ds/MDs chime in how they managed the same transition?
