• Confirm onsite-assessed suppliers have current-year coverage (e.g., in Air Table).

• Own Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) end-to-end: define SLAs, track progress, drive closure with vendors and business owners.
• Coordinate with Legal, Procurement, and Info Sec on remediation timelines and compensating controls.

• Run a structured outreach cadence with DRIs (kick-off 3 follow-ups 3 escalations to management).
• Track response/non-response rates for every outreach cycle.
• Escalate unresolved/high-risk findings to client leadership and track to closure.
