• Passionate for teaching clients about applicable compliance standards, such as SOC1, SOC2, PCI, HIPAA, FISMA, GLBA, HITRUST, GDPR, and ISO. We love this alphabet.

Quality

• Skillful in designing effective tests of controls.
• Must understand and interpret how risk affects a wide range of business environments. Gap analysis, anyone??
• Combine remediation guidance with interpersonal skill and an understanding of why clients must make necessary changes. Nobody likes a pushy auditor.

• Efficient with technology and keyboards. No technosaurs.
