  • Reassess risk posture following major changes, incidents, or regulatory updates
  • Review and validate existing controls to calculate residual risk and prioritize treatment actions

  • Support integration of assessment outcomes into control design, zoning, segmentation, and system deployment
  • Track risk treatment progress and escalate overdue or high-priority items as needed
  • Coordinate with performance management to define and monitor key risk indicators (KRIs) to proactively track changes in cybersecurity risk exposure
  • Maintain the cybersecurity risk register, including OT-specific entries, capturing identified risks, likelihood and impact ratings, treatment plans, ownership, and status
  • Coordinate and execute internal cybersecurity compliance assessments across all relevant domains and functions
  • Serve as the lead interface for external audits and regulatory inspections, including preparation, execution, and response
  • Conduct periodic compliance assessments of OT environments, including SCADA, DCS, PLCs, and associated network infrastructure

  • Track and manage remediation plans for compliance gaps, non-conformities, and audit findings through closure
  • Validate the effectiveness of implemented controls or mitigation plans before closing compliance gaps
  • Review and validate configuration baselines for OT systems (e.g., firewall rules, firmware versions) to ensure alignment with compliance standards
  • Coordinate evidence collection, documentation, and remediation planning for compliance-related findings
  • Report OT and IT cybersecurity compliance status and risks to leadership and cybersecurity governance
  • Support compliance awareness and training for teams with control responsibilities in both IT and OT
  • Maintain a centralized compliance register, covering both IT and OT, that maps regulatory requirements to policies, controls, responsible teams, and evidence sources
  • Govern third-party cybersecurity risk by maintaining standardized assessment processes, due diligence criteria, and remediation tracking
  • Coordinate and conduct third-party cybersecurity assessments across IT and OT suppliers to ensure alignment with internal policies and regulatory requirements
  • Review vendor-supplied OT systems and supporting documentation to ensure inclusion of security controls and compliance with applicable standards (e.g., NCA OTCC, IEC 62443)
  • Ensure third-party risk findings are documented, risk-rated, and tracked through resolution, including acceptance or application of compensating controls
  • Maintain a register of assessed vendors, associated risks, control gaps, and remediation status for ongoing oversight and reporting
  • Collaborate with procurement, legal, and compliance to embed cybersecurity requirements into third-party agreements, including OT-specific clauses where applicable
  • Contribute to the development and review of third-party security policy and minimum control requirements for use in procurement and onboarding
  • Support internal and external audit requests related to third-party cybersecurity risk management

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
