Evidence Automation: Write evidence collectors (Python/boto3, serverless functions, Go) that pull cloud, scanner, and SIEM data and map it to security controls (NIST SP 800-53).

Source-Control Governance: Establish review gates and attestation formats.

Integration: Build and maintain API/connector integrations and event-driven data flows feeding the evidence and GRC layer.

Identity & Secrets: Engineer identity, PKI, and secrets workflows (HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager) supporting control evidence.
