  • Document and enhance procedures, training materials, and onboarding guides to support stakeholders in executing their remediation responsibilities
  • Ensure the remediation process and controls operate as designed and are effective, while identifying and escalating gaps for corrective action
  • Perform quality assurance checks after completed remediation to confirm risks are addressed and supporting evidence meets requirements
