Summary

Removed 'in a multi-account environment' from the instruction about turning off security standard controls

Security assessment

The change broadens the scope of disabling security controls to potentially include non-multi-account environments, which could lead to unintended security risks if users disable controls in contexts they shouldn't. The original text explicitly limited the instruction to multi-account setups.
