Your Missions

• Governance and Standards
  • Own and maintain the product cybersecurity governance and assurance framework, aligned with the broader compliance model used across disciplines.
  • Develop and maintain internal standards, templates, checklists, and guidance to enable consistent execution across programmes (e.g., System of Interest definitions, TARA guidance, cybersecurity requirements, testing expectations, and evidence packs).
  • Create and deliver training and enablement programmes to uplift engineering teams and drive "right first time" compliance.
• Programme Compliance Assessment and Assurance
  • Plan and execute cybersecurity compliance assessments of product programmes and suppliers, reporting status, risks, and evidence gaps clearly and early.
  • Assess alignment against internal requirements and relevant external standards and regulations, including ISO/SAE 21434, ISO 24882, IEC 62443, and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
  • Review the adequacy of key cybersecurity work products such as threat modelling/TARA outputs, requirements, architecture evidence, verification and validation strategies, and residual risk statements.
  • Drive closure of findings with stakeholders across systems, embedded software, verification, manufacturing/service, and suppliers.
• Cybersecurity Testing Assurance
  • Define cybersecurity testing expectations required for compliance evidence, covering coverage scope, methods, reporting, and remediation tracking.
  • Coordinate Red Team and testing activities to ensure outputs support programme assurance and close testing capability gaps.
• Vulnerability Management and Post‑Production Assurance
  • Establish and assure governance for post‑production vulnerability management, including monitoring from suppliers, research findings, Red Team outputs, and PSIRT channels, and routing to affected products.
  • Support readiness for CRA mandatory reporting, including Article 14 reporting workflows and fast‑track response for actively exploitable issues.
  • Capture and disseminate lessons learned (e.g., CWE/CVE insights) back into standards, checklists, and training materials.

Your Profile

• Demonstrable experience in product cybersecurity assurance, governance, compliance assessment, or cybersecurity audit for embedded or cyber‑physical products.
