- 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, approval routing, and tracking of time-bound remediation commitments through to closure.
- 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).
- Maintain a defensible audit trail for control operation and governance decisions.
- Produce executive-ready reporting: governance and compliance dashboards, programme status updates, board and committee papers.
- Act as a trusted point of contact for business units seeking governance guidance on new initiatives.
- Contribute governance input to post-incident reviews and remediation programmes, ensuring lessons learned convert into control or policy change.
