Recommendation 1 three-column body copy

Summary

The first recommendation in detail: a pale-blue text slide led by a large blue numeral "1", a bold subhead, and three side-by-side columns of justified body copy.

Visual description

Pale-blue (#E8F1FF) background. A blue "03" section number sits top-left with a two-line "Recommendations to help reduce the cost of a data breach" running header at center top. Below, a large blue numeral "1" anchors the left edge. The body is set in three justified columns: the first opens with a bold subhead ("Build security into every stage of software development and deployment, and test regularly") then continues in regular weight; the second and third columns are continuous body copy. Several phrases are rendered as underlined blue inline hyperlinks ("DevSecOps approach", "secure by design and secure by default", "digital transformation", "cloud environments", "Application testing or penetration testing"). A navigation footer runs along the bottom.

Key takeaway

Treating a content-heavy recommendation as an editorial three-column read anchored by one oversized numeral. The big number gives an otherwise plain text page a clear identity and ties it to the numbered agenda on the divider. Inline links keep references in-flow rather than footnoted.

Reuse notes

A clean layout for long-form, reference-rich content (recommendations, principles, methodology) that must stay text-first. Three justified columns maximize copy per slide while staying scannable; the oversized numeral and bold subhead create hierarchy without graphics. Best on a tinted field that separates these prose pages from data pages. Watch column length so the page does not feel like a wall of text.
