Collaborate with compliance teams for audits, assessments, and reviews specific to IaC security. Provide security awareness training and guidance to development and DevOps teams on integrating security into the development process and IaC workflows. Maintain accurate documentation of security configurations, policies, procedures, and incident response activities; generate reports on Shift Left security and IaC security metrics, compliance status, and incident trends.
