About Michael Barondess

As a first-year Consultant at Protiviti, specializing in the IAFA technology practice, I’m focused on developing my skills and growing as a professional. I’ve had the opportunity to work on IT SOX compliance, cybersecurity audits, and risk assessments across a range of industries, where I have gained a passion for solving problems and helping clients improve their internal controls. So far, I’ve been fortunate to work with clients in industries such as aviation, retail, and e-commerce, where I’ve contributed to key projects like IT governance improvements, post-IPO SOX compliance, and operational efficiency enhancements. These experiences have given me a well-rounded perspective on how to tailor audit strategies and solutions that meet each client’s needs.
