  • Be the first point of call for helping coordinate cyber security activities as part of projects and change within the IT team
  • Leverage group security frameworks, policies, standards, and architecture to support the IT team in delivering change under the guiding principles of ‘shift left’ and ‘security by default’
  • Support the IT team’s operational change requirements where relevant with guidance and advice
  • Coordinate all these activities with the broader security team
  • Identify and define security requirements for the IT team, for the broader security team to execute

Your expertise:
