  • Drive documentation and audit readiness: policies, SOPs, control narratives, diagrams, and proof of operation (with evidence gathered from both internal teams and the MSP).
  • Coordinate testing, validation, cutover planning, and go-live readiness; ensure post-launch stabilization ("hypercare") and transition to steady-state operations.
  • Provide clear stakeholder communications and executive-level status reporting, proactively surfacing risks, schedule threats, and mitigation options.
