Oh man I feel for you, the only time 32 gigs isn't possible is when we decide we aren't upgrading something from the Intel 7th gen and we just use what ram we have, otherwise we gotta do 32

We had monitoring before but since we were paying per sensor to be monitored we had a very limited amount of monitoring, so when I offered to take on the burden of setting up Zabbix on our infra I was given the greenlight and a transition phase once I had it up and working. Today we have better and more monitoring than we had before.

I would probably do a VM on their workstation and then make sure policy about how and why it can be used is available and signed by them so that if they use it for anything other than the intended use it can become an HR problem instead of an IT one.

It means that you have had boxes checked off and that you got a little gold star, they can help guide you towards goals to improve security but you aren't suddenly impermeable to attacks or phishing because you're soc2 or iso whatever. IMO there is no such thing as safe (of course turned off in an airgapped room with no access to anyone is pretty safe but you understand)
