• Provide compliance support for SOC 1 and SSAE 18 reporting related to internal systems and cloud service providers
• Respond to audit and information requests from DoD and Federal agencies, and participate in engagements with Independent Public Accountants (IPAs), including meetings, site visits, and evidence evaluations
