• Lead supplier governance and performance management by challenging processes, driving consistency, and managing significant or recurring incident escalations.
• Provide executive oversight and reporting on security incidents, delivering insights into trends, response performance, SLA compliance, root causes, and overall risk exposure.
• Coordinate post-incident reviews and continuous improvement activities, ensuring root cause analysis, corrective actions, audit readiness, and improved operational effectiveness.
