Who is NOT required in a meeting discussing an internal audit of an AV system's security profile?

In the context of an internal audit of an AV system's security profile, the primary focus is on assessing and managing the security aspects of the audiovisual technology in use. Typically, the individuals involved in such discussions should be those who have direct oversight, responsibility, or technical knowledge related to the system, its network integration, and overall operational security.

The technology manager responsible for the room/system plays a crucial role in ensuring that the AV systems are configured correctly and securely managed. The IT manager responsible for the network is also essential, as network security is a critical component of AV system integrity, particularly regarding vulnerabilities that can arise from network connections.

The integrator's representative, who was involved in the installation, can provide insights into the installation process and address any potential concerns regarding the way the AV system was integrated into the existing infrastructure.

In contrast, the manufacturer's representative who assisted with technical sales is not typically involved in the auditing process. Their role is more aligned with selling and supporting the initial deployment of products rather than operational oversight and security assessments. Therefore, their presence in a security audit meeting is less relevant as they are not directly responsible for the ongoing security measures or the system's performance in a live environment. This is why they are not required in discussions specifically centered
