- Policy & Guardrails: Implement policy-as-code and automated guardrails across infrastructure provisioning, GitOps, CI/CD, and cloud environments to enforce requirements.
- Identity & Access Automation: Automate identity lifecycle, access provisioning, least-privilege enforcement, privileged access, and periodic access controls across Wyze systems.
- Security & Compliance Automation: Translate security and compliance requirements into automated, testable, and enforceable controls across Wyze infrastructure and engineering workflows.
- Continuous Compliance: Detect configuration and control drift, automate remediation where appropriate, and maintain continuous compliance rather than point-in-time validation
