• Develop and maintain governance and compliance documentation, ensuring adherence to standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, NIS2, and UK regulations.
• Provide technical input for bids, including cost modelling, risk assessments, and solution architecture clarification through workshops and scoping sessions.
• Act as a trusted advisor, sharing best practices and emerging technologies, and maintaining up-to-date knowledge of cyber security trends.
• Coordinate resources and timelines to align solution capacity with sales pipeline and project delivery requirements.
