What You Bring to the Table

🔹 Experience in security control testing, risk assessment, or IT audit.
🔹 Strong understanding of CPS 234 and other security compliance frameworks.
🔹 Ability to assess and challenge security control evidence with a critical eye.
🔹 Familiarity with manual and automated security testing tools.
