  • Support internal and external audits with clear, defensible and evidence-based documentation.
  • Define and oversee security requirements, governance and assurance activities for vendors, SaaS providers, and third parties.
  • Ensure third‑party security controls are proportionate to application criticality, data sensitivity and business impact.

Responsibilities:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or related discipline.
  • Professional certifications are strongly preferred (e.g. CISSP, CISM, CCSP).
