What you will need?

  • CISA, CRISC, or CISSP certification (required).
  • Strong understanding of security governance, risk, and compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, and COBIT.
  • Proven leadership skills with the ability to guide and mentor teams, as well as influence and collaborate with senior stakeholders in a similar GRC, security, or risk management role.
