• Implement scripts and automation (e.g., PowerShell, Terraform, Azure Automation) to enforce and verify compliance controls.
• Develop dashboards and reporting views for compliance tracking using Microsoft Sentinel, Azure Monitor, or Power BI.
• Participate in USCG RMF control assessments and internal audits, preparing systems for reauthorization or inspection.
