Why Annual Penetration Testing Is No Longer Enough: A Practical Introduction to Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)
A research-driven white paper explaining why continuous threat exposure management outperforms annual penetration testing in modern cybersecurity environments. Demonstrates enterprise-level compliance writing, risk framing, and technical clarity.
Hero section exproration: Glacier, a compliance platform for SaaS teams.
The brief: security should feel calm, not stressful.
A still lake and one peak carry the calm. Technical type carries the precision. A halftone texture ties them together.
A speculative email strategy and redesign project for Indie Lee, created to practice customer research, email strategy, copywriting, and email design for a beauty/skincare brand.
The Challenge
The original welcome email strongly emphasized the first-order discount and encouraged subscribers to shop.
I identified a potential customer barrier:
“What should I buy, and how do I know what's right for my skin?”
My Strategy
I redesigned the email around a more customer-focused journey:
Customer problem → Personalized guidance → Trust → Social proof → Offer
What I Changed
Added messaging around product-selection uncertainty.
Introduced personalized skincare consultation as a solution.
Strengthened the customer-focused messaging.
Added founder storytelling to build trust.
Added social proof around customer desires such as hydration and glow.
Kept the 30% first-order offer as a conversion incentive.
Reorganized the email to create a clearer path toward purchase.
