• Ensure audit, risk, and controls activities support frameworks such as SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001/27017/27018, Cyber Essentials Plus, and ISO 22301.
• Align internal practices with applicable external audit and regulatory expectations.
• Develop clear audit reports and risk summaries for senior leadership and the board.
• Create dashboards and KRI reporting to track findings, risk status, and control effectiveness over time.
• Identify opportunities to automate audit and control testing to improve consistency and reduce manual effort.
• Stay current on audit, risk, and controls best practices, methodologies, and tools.
