• Monitor alert thresholds, investigate control failures, and perform independent testing and validation of monitoring systems to ensure continued effectiveness

• Identify and address logging and monitoring gaps across all applications; assess risks from gaps (account takeover, unauthorized client record access) and implement strategies to mitigate

• Track and manage issues and findings to ensure timely remediation; assign clear ownership of logging responsibilities and hold stakeholders accountable for gap resolution

•  Report on control performance, metrics, to risk committees, governance forums, and executive stakeholders; present risk assessments and control recommendations across different lines of business

• Collaborate with senior managers and cross-functional teams to establish consistent reporting structures and ensure standardized monitoring approaches
