Evaluate technology currency, architecture, concentration, software supply chain, control maturity and compensating controls to inform business decisions.BISO model evolution: Evolve business information security engagement toward deeper technical partnership, connecting business priorities and material cyber risk to architecture, engineering, product and portfolio decisions.Operating model and experience: Reduce organizational handoffs and fragmented intake. Create a consistent, transparent and accountable experience for teams consuming ISS services, including SEP V2 and future secure-enablement capabilities.Outcome measurement: Define and report shared measures across ISS and Technology, including adoption of secure patterns, reduction of material exposures, technology currency, delivery friction, remediation progress and portfolio-level risk reduction.Executive leadership: Lead a multidisciplinary organization of approximately 100 FTEs.
