IT Auditor /Government & risk compliance consultant


Job location-Richmond /Mclean VA(Hybrid)



Project :
Role is surrounding a continuous controls monitoring program that they're trying to stand up within cybersecurity. They're looking to build out what will be many audits of controls (understanding how the controls operate, reviewing controls, setting requirements, etc.) and establishing where the data resides and how to build out requirements for the data analyst.


Issues with candidates so far - lots of folks with tech compliance where it seems like they understand how to gather evidence for controls but don't understand how to set the requirements for evidence gathering for controls. They have step 2 (gathering evidence) but not step 1 (setting requirements on how to gather evidence, etc.)
