Triage monitoring exceptions and data anomalies, distinguishing true: compliance exceptions from data artifacts and process gaps, route findings to the appropriate resolution path, and support remediation through validation and evidence review.
Map automated checks to specific regulatory requirements, converting query: logic into control statements that feed the compliance control inventory and close the loop between monitoring exceptions and tracked compliance issues.
