• Monitor remediation progress, validate closure artifacts, and verify control improvements as part of the risk mitigation lifecycle.
• Assist with the creation and refinement of risk registers, dashboards, and other reporting tools that provide leadership situational awareness.
• Collaborate with program teams, system owners, ISSOs, and engineering groups to gather evidence, clarify risk drivers, and support timely resolution.
