Maintain policies, procedures, risk registers, Statements of Applicability (SoA), and related artefacts
-
Track control ownership, review cycles, exceptions, and corrective actions
-
Support internal audits and management reviews

Track audit findings through remediation and closure

Bridge automated assurance outputs (dashboards, metrics, system evidence) with traditional audit requirements
-
Ensure both automated and manual assurance processes are accurate, consistent, and audit‑ready
-
Support customer security questionnaires, due‑diligence requests, and audits
-
Provide security inputs for RFPs, RFIs, and pre‑sales activities, where required
-
Ensure customer‑facing assurance responses are accurate, consistent, and aligned with audit scope and real operational practices
-
Maintain reusable assurance content to reduce repetitive effort and improve response quality
-
Draft clear, professional written responses for auditors, customers, and internal stakeholders
-
Explain security controls and assurance outcomes in plain, precise language
-
Act as a reliable point of contact for routine assurance, ISMS, and customer security queries

-
Deputise for the Governance, Risk & Assurance Manager on defined operational matters, including:
