The Information Security Governance Specialist owns the governance backbone of the security programme: policy, control framework design, compliance, and audit assurance. This role translates security strategy into structured, auditable, and operationally realistic governance artefacts (e.g.: exception registers, policy suites, control frameworks, audit programmes) and works across the business to embed them into everyday operation.

Maintain the security governance calendar (policy reviews, management reviews).
Support design and evolution of the organisation's security strategy and multi-year security programme roadmap.
Administer the security exception/waiver process end-to-end: intake, documentation,

Maintain the control framework catalogue, mapping controls to ISO 27001 Annex A, NIST CSF, and CIS Controls, and flag control gaps for risk assessment by the Information Security Risk Specialist.
Partner with the Information Security Risk Specialist to ensure exceptions and control gaps are risk-assessed and formally risk-accepted by the appropriate owner before a waiver is granted.
Coordinate internal and external audits and certification cycles (e.g. ISO 27001), including evidence collection and remediation tracking.
Map controls to regulatory and contractual obligations (GDPR, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, sector-specific requirements as applicable).
