The problem is real and it's not the only one in this space.
I was surprised to see so many words and so little substance. If feels like Troy didn't really try about this one.
1. Require not 1, but 2 people, for hire, right now. It will take a long time until it gets approved, HR does their thing, and you (or someone else) hire people to help you.
2. Document, as fast as you can, all of the assets in your environment. Don't waste time on looking for software. Plain text or spreadsheet will do for start.
3. Identify the most important assets (servers, network devices, etc) - and try to understand what are your priorities for each. For example, availability for your frontend servers. Confidentiality and integrity for your server storing PII. Based on this, you'll understand what are your biggest risks. Would it be a business disaster if your website is down for few hours? Likely not. What about if the PII is compromised and you get huge fines and be in the news? More likely.
4. Find out who has the access to the most important assets, and cut off anyone who doesn't really need it.
5. Establish some sort of monitoring for the most important assets.
Good infosec teams keep inventory of all the software used in the org. If they see that the org already pays a vendor for software doing X, a question should be raised, why we need another one for doing the same thing.
Also, each new vendor or software provider needs go get a "security clearance", after the infosec teams checks their state of security.
These kinds of practices would probably discover the shady intents.
