  • Identify, capture, or contextualise risks and mitigating controls, enabling risk owners and managers to take responsibility for the management and maintenance of their security.
  • Work closely with Security and Data Protection and other internal and external stakeholders, to ensure Cyber Security threats, vulnerabilities, and opportunities with the potential to impact or improve resilience of Digital IT Infrastructure are identified, and / or reported appropriately.
  • Take responsibility for delivering timely and quality results with focus and drive.
  • Use evidence and knowledge to support accurate, expert decisions and advice. Carefully consider alternative options, implications and risks of decisions.
  • Support strategic development of the service vision with programmes, enabling the prioritisation and delivery of solutions with appropriate security controls to mitigate Cyber Security Risks through a structured risk management process.
