• Examine log data, event records, and access information to confirm control effectiveness and identify unusual or high-risk activity.
• Identify opportunities to replace manual compliance tasks with more efficient and auditable technical processes.
• Create and maintain clear documentation for audit procedures, scripts, test results, and evidence handling practices.
• Support ongoing audit preparedness by organizing evidence, validating audit trails, and using available tools to improve response efficiency.
• Monitor evolving compliance expectations and help align technical controls with applicable regulatory and security standards.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, or a related discipline.
• At least 2 years of experience in IT audit, IT compliance, IT general controls testing, or a related IT engineering environment.
• Working knowledge of SOX, ISO 27001, NIST, or similar governance and control frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with PowerShell and Python for automation, reporting, or analysis tasks.
• Familiarity with file integrity monitoring solutions, including tools such as Tripwire Enterprise, is preferred.
• Ability to analyze system logs, access records, and other technical data sources to support audit conclusions.
