• Develop and maintain a Technology Control Plan (TCP), including access controls, visitor controls, data segregation, and procedures supporting export‑control compliance.
• Maintain and continuously improve Information Technology policies and procedures, ensuring alignment with organizational, regulatory, and customer requirements.
