  • 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 root-cause 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;
