Partner closely with Engineering to ensure technical architecture and security control implementations align with NIST 800-53 baselines.
Lead the design and validation of identity management, data flows, and API integrations.
Champion vulnerability management and incident response frameworks, ensuring alignment of data protection mechanisms across the technology stack.
Communicate progress, risks, and dependencies to executive leadership and client stakeholders regularly.
Prepare status reports, dashboards, and presentations for senior leadership.
Facilitate executive steering committees and governance forums.
