Compliance, Governance, and Audit Questions

Evaluate whether an organization's controls, policies, and evidence satisfy the regulatory, contractual, and corporate requirements that apply to it. Topics include identifying and interpreting relevant regulatory frameworks (e.g. SOX, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001), designing controls and mapping them to requirements, policy definition and enforcement (including policy-as-code tooling as one enforcement mechanism), maintaining system and data inventories for scoping, audit logging and evidence collection, detecting and remediating control gaps or configuration drift, access reviews and least-privilege enforcement, data residency and localization requirements, encryption and key management as a control area, automated compliance monitoring and reporting, and collaborating with internal and external auditors, legal, and risk teams to produce audit artifacts, respond to findings, and build remediation plans.
