• Reporting and executive communication: Produce executive-ready risk reports and summaries that articulate risk and recommended actions. Present assessments and remediation progress to senior management and control partners (e.g., IT Risk, Audit, Architecture). Maintain consistent templates and writing standards to ensure clarity, comparability, and timely decisions.
• Governance and consistency: Align assessments with internal policies and external standards (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, OWASP, PCI DSS). Promote consistent rating practices and quality across portfolios.
