• Author clear program updates, annual compliance metrics, and formal responses to internal and external audit findings.
• Partner across the organization to support the execution of unified Gamedays and quarterly technical tests to ensure critical applications fail over predictably.
• Benchmark and audit actual technical execution against strict Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
