Senior Compliance Security Specialist

The Information and Cyber Security Governance (IRGS) function is a dedicated team responsible for effectively managing and controlling information and cyber security within an organization. They develop and maintain policies, standards, and procedures/guidelines/process documents related to information and cyber security. The team identifies, assesses, and manages cyber risks, performs risk assessments, and reports on the organization's cyber risk profile. They promote a strong cyber risk and information security culture throughout the organization.

Additionally, the IRGS team conducts vendor assessments, reviews hardware and software for security gaps, remediates deficiencies, and tests control effectiveness. They build partnerships with stakeholders across the organization, implement self-assessment processes incorporating risk and controls assessment in day-to-day activities, and contribute to adopting state-of-the-art tools and techniques. The team also escalates significant cyber-related issues or observed non-compliance or unethical behavior.

It's important to note that the IRGS team reports directly to the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of CTB , who oversees the organization's overall information and cyber security strategy. This reporting relationship ensures alignment with strategic goals and facilitates effective coordination, collaboration, and decision-making between the IRGS function and other areas of the organization.

In summary, the IRGS function plays a vital role in governing and managing information and cyber security to protect the organization's assets, data, and systems from potential threats while maintaining a direct line of communication with senior leadership through its reporting structure to the CISO.
