This is a client-dedicated role assigned to support designated managed-services clients and their defined GRC service requirements. The role works in client-owned or client-approved systems during applicable client-aligned service windows established for assigned engagements.

Archive, organize, and review security- and audit-related email reports and associated records in approved repositories. Check assigned evidence for completeness, accuracy, applicable period, source, and retrievability before routing it for review.

Record request scope, ownership, status, due dates, dependencies, disposition, and supporting documentation accurately and consistently. Monitor aging items, follow up for missing information, and escalate blockers, overdue requests, or matters outside assigned authority. Coordinate with stakeholders to clarify requests and support timely completion without independently performing a third-party risk assessment, approving a third party, or accepting risk unless specifically delegated. Service Delivery, Quality & Information Handling Perform assigned work using client-owned or client-approved systems and platforms during applicable client-aligned service windows. Follow approved procedures, access restrictions, data-handling requirements, naming conventions, and evidence-retention practices. Protect confidential, security-sensitive, employee, and access-related information and immediately escalate suspected handling or access issues.

Make routine record-maintenance, queue-management, and evidence-organization decisions that comply with approved standards. Do not independently approve access or third parties, accept risk, interpret legal or regulatory requirements, design controls, determine control effectiveness, approve control exceptions, or make material process changes unless specifically delegated. Escalate suspected control failures, anomalous activity, unresolved reconciliation issues, missing audit evidence, access concerns, overdue work, and decisions outside assigned authority.
