  • Detect recurring risk trends and present them as strategic concerns for executive leadership.
  • Lead the evaluation and ongoing review of third-party and vendor security risks based on their criticality.

  • Engage in incident follow-up activities to identify systemic risks and update the risk register with lessons learned.
  • Help interpret threat intelligence and assess how emerging cyber threats could affect business operations.
