- Experience maintaining policies, procedures, compliance registers, and supporting evidence.
- Understanding of the relationship between regulatory obligations, internal controls, operational processes, and technical implementation.
- Familiarity with financial services regulatory requirements, particularly DORA where applicable.
- Knowledge of relevant security standards and frameworks, such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and CIS Controls.
- Ability to collaborate with technical teams and understand how regulatory requirements apply to real systems and operational processes.
- Ability to manage multiple regulatory obligations and deadlines in a changing regulatory environment.

- ICT Regulatory Requirements: Identify, interpret, and maintain an up-to-date view of applicable ICT-related regulatory requirements, standards, and obligations relevant to the organization's business model.

- Compliance Framework: Develop, maintain, and continuously improve the ICT compliance framework, including procedures, compliance methodologies, obligations registers, and supporting documentation.
- Requirements Mapping: Translate regulatory obligations into clear internal requirements and map them to relevant policies, processes, controls, and accountable owners.
- Compliance Assessments: Coordinate periodic assessments to determine whether relevant ICT requirements have been implemented and whether supporting evidence is available and adequate.
