Conduct vulnerability management activities, including scanning, prioritization, remediation tracking, and reporting.
Lead and continuously improve identity and access management practices, including privileged access management (PAM), least-privilege enforcement, and access reviews.
Design and enforce data protection controls to safeguard confidential client information, deal data, and material non-public information (MNPI).
Support and help scope internal and external penetration testing and red team engagements, including remediation validation and retesting.
Contribute to third-party/vendor risk assessments, particularly for vendors supporting sensitive deal-related workflows.
