Privacy) for end-to-end incident resolution.
- Participate in audit, compliance, and certification processes (ISO 27001, SOC 2,
GDPR, CFIUS, etc.).
- Support resource allocation and scheduling to ensure proper coverage and
workload balance.
- Drive continuous improvement in SOC detection, automation, and workflow
efficiency.
