Execute security risk assessments end-to-end — scoping, data gathering, analysis, findings documentation, and communicating results to stakeholders — in alignment with program methodology set by leadership
Support the development and continuous refinement of risk assessment templates, workflows, and process guides that make the program consistent and scalable
Maintain risk registers and ensure identified risks are tracked accurately and progressing through mitigation, remediation, or acceptance workflows
