- Coordinate risk-based patching and vulnerability remediation, validate fixes and track exceptions through the agreed risk process.
- Implement and maintain encryption, certificate and secrets management controls across hybrid environments
- Embed security checks into infrastructure provisioning and change processes; automate repeatable controls using Terraform and scripting.
- Support security assessments, audit evidence collection and alignment with GDPR, SOC-related control requirements, ISO 27001 and ISO 27017.
- Investigate and triage findings from SCC, Microsoft Defender and on-premises security tools; coordinate containment and remediation with Cyber Security and infrastructure teams.
- Support incident investigations, recovery exercises and lessons-learned; maintain security runbooks and report on posture, remediation progress and outstanding risks.
- Work directly with cloud, data center, network and product teams to implement practical security controls.
- Act as a security enabler, balancing risk reduction with service availability and delivery needs.
- Partner with security architects and Cyber Security teams to translate requirements into tested configurations and operational procedures.
- Coordinate with managed service providers and platform owners on remediation ownership, priorities and timely closure.
- Develop reusable automation, implementation guidance and knowledge articles that improve consistency across cloud and on-premises operations.
