  • Conduct cyber maturity assessments on information security controls in place, which will be reported on to management.
  • Propose solutions to mitigate against current or future risk;
  • Assist in information security incident management by maintaining the information security incident register, participating in post incident analysis, and proposing remediations to address rootcause issues/risks;
  • Update and maintain company information security policies in collaboration with relevant stakeholders;
  • Assist in identifying and delivering relevant training initiatives to employees regarding information security;
