• Conducting information security and cyber risk assessments
• Managing third-party and supplier security assurance activity
• Supporting supply chain security requirements, including supplier risk and third-party assurance
• Working with Technology, Procurement, Legal and operational teams to embed security requirements
• Supporting security awareness, governance reporting and continual improvement
