• Lead information security risk management activities, including risk assessments, control reviews, residual risk evaluation, and recommending mitigating actions; maintain and manage the security risk register.
• Identify and assess emerging and existing information security risks using internal sources (e.g. audits, penetration tests) and external intelligence (e.g. threat feeds, industry advisories), ensuring risks to confidentiality, integrity, and availability are effectively managed.
