Overview

The IT Compliance Analyst supports the organization’s security and compliance program through audit coordination, technical evidence review, control testing support, and remediation tracking.

Findings and Recurring Control Follow-Through

• Track findings, exceptions, remediation actions, accountable owners, and deadlines through documented closure.
• Review remediation evidence for completeness and alignment with the identified issue, escalating unresolved questions to the appropriate reviewers.
• Identify missed recurring activities, outdated evidence, documentation gaps, and approaching deadlines.
• Follow up consistently with stakeholders and escalate delays or unresolved gaps that could affect audit readiness.

Documentation and Compliance Records

• Maintain policies, procedures, control narratives, diagrams, evidence guides, and supporting audit documentation in collaboration with responsible owners.
• Maintain a traceable record of requests, responses, exceptions, remediation activity, and approvals.
