- Support quality assurance, audit readiness, and continuous improvement activities by applying assessment standards consistently and identifying opportunities to strengthen processes, templates, and reporting.
- Stay informed about developments in vendor risk management, cybersecurity threats, control frameworks, and relevant legal or regulatory requirements.
