• Review and analyze risk registers, security incidents, and control effectiveness to provide timely assurance insights to senior management and governance committees.

• Oversee governance of critical security processes such as change management, security exceptions, and secure software development lifecycle (SDLC).

• Provide independent oversight of IT security architecture and design decisions to ensure compliance with security principles and frameworks.

• Monitor IT system availability risks, including assessment of business continuity (BCP) and disaster recovery (DRP) plans from a cybersecurity perspective, ensuring organizational resilience.

• Engage with cross-functional teams and risk committees to communicate IT security risks, gaps, and recommend mitigation strategies.
