- Train client teams on evidence collection, continuous monitoring, and dashboard utilization.
- Serve as a trusted partner to IT and business leaders—explaining complex controls in clear, non-technical terms.

- Prepare concise audit reports and management responses.
- Identify process enhancements and share best practices to elevate RSI Security’s methodologies.
- Represent RSI Security at client workshops and industry forums.
