Validate remediation effectiveness using scanner re-runs, policy compliance, and audit evidence.
Develop, deploy, and continuously improve baseline security configurations for iOS/iPadOS and Android.
Translate requirements into enforceable policies (password/biometrics, encryption, OS update controls, app controls, certificate/profile constraints, VPN/Wi-Fi security, logging settings).
Implement compliance monitoring and drift detection; drive automated or semi-automated corrective actions.
Build automation scripts and APIs to normalize and enrich findings.
