• Improve traceability and audit readiness by maintaining structured records of evidence, approvals, assessments, decisions, and supporting documentation.
• Develop dashboards and management reporting to provide real-time visibility into RCSA progress, control status, evidence completeness, overdue activities, and key risk indicators.
• Support regulatory, audit, and risk management activities through automated evidence collection, workflow tracking, and reporting.
• Identify additional opportunities to automate Cybersecurity GRC processes and establish reusable capabilities that can be scaled across other risk and control activities.
