I would define a phased migration plan with owners, milestones, rollback procedures, user communications, and acceptance criteria, then track the MSP against agreed SLAs until all assets, access, documentation, and tooling are transferred or retired. How do you maintain accurate device inventory across an RMM platform and an EDR platform? I establish a source-of-truth process that regularly reconciles device identifiers, ownership, operating-system status, and agent health between the RMM, EDR, and identity systems. I use automated reports to identify missing agents, duplicates, stale devices, and compliance exceptions, then assign and follow up on remediation within defined timelines. Describe how you would support a SOC 2 audit from an IT operations perspective. I would map requested controls to operational evidence such as access reviews, provisioning and offboarding records, endpoint-compliance reports, configuration baselines, change records, incident tickets, and vendor-management documentation. I would validate evidence quality before delivery, identify gaps early, and create measurable remediation tasks so the environment remains audit-ready rather than responding only at audit time. How would you handle an escalation where an MSP repeatedly misses SLA targets? I would document the affected incidents, SLA terms, business impact, root causes, and prior commitments, then hold a formal service review with clear corrective actions and deadlines. If performance does not improve, I would escalate through contractual governance, implement contingency coverage for critical services, and provide leadership with a concise risk and recommendation report. What is your approach to joiner, mover, and leaver access management across multiple tenants? I use HR as the authoritative source for personnel changes and define standardized workflows tied to role, business unit, and required applications. Provisioning follows least-privilege access and approval controls, while offboarding prioritizes immediate identity disablement, session revocation, device recovery, shared-account review, and evidence retention.
