Audit & Issue Management

- Manage the end‑to‑end lifecycle of compliance incidents (detect → resolve → root‑cause → preventive action).
Continuous Improvement
- Identify opportunities to streamline processes, reduce manual effort, and improve control effectiveness.
- Recommend enhancements to enterprise GRC platforms based on line‑level feedback.
