ITGC
Own IT General Controls testing and evidence across access management, change management, backup/DR, logical security, and computer operations

Regulatory Compliance
Manage GDPR and DPDPA compliance programs – DPIAs, RoPA, breach notification workflows, data subject request handling

Audits
Serve as primary point of contact for internal and external auditors across ISO 27001, SOC 2, ITGC, and customer-driven audits
