SOC compliance project manager
John was an absolutely essential part of us getting SOC2 Type 2 compliant. He helped us achieve it within 2 months or so. I couldn't be more grateful to have had the chance to work with. I would definitely hire him again for any compliance needs. He was professional, consistent and transparent with our team. Do not hesitate to hire him for any projects you might have!! He will be your best Upwork hire.
