This IT security pilot fish knows something about audits — and knows what he expects of auditors.

“I have more than 15 years of audit experience in IT,” fish says. “I have written and implemented policy and procedure, and developed incident response plans. I spent the better part of last year making sure that the external auditors could not find any inconsistencies in our control standards.”
