Initially brought on by Hulu to lead SOX control onboarding for the Content Management Platform organization (and their respective services). Owned this initiative end-to-end, from service inventory to ITGC reliance – onboarded 27 services across 5 teams within the Content Management Platform organization. Onboarding encompassed a variety of scope, including but not limited to, service migrations between cloud tenants to support common CI/CD controls, access management for back-end APIs & front-end UIs, database privileged access audit/cleaning, change management (code & infrastructure).Partnered and lead engineering teams to identify the code changes required to meet SOX complianceDefined development implementation details and provided guidance for ‘best practices’ related to specific types of changes.Partnered with Tech Compliance and Internal Audit to assist in assessing risk, de-scoping low risk components, refining common controls. Through this partnership, we managed to eliminate privileged access review controls on ~ 50+ datastores by leveraging our separation of duty and change management controls.Educated product, engineering, and operational teams on how to design, develop, and operate services with SOX in mind.
