  • Security program ownership and executive accountability
  • Board and C-suite reporting and communication
  • Security policy, standards, and governance framework
  • Vendor and technology evaluation and selection
  • Incident response leadership and crisis management
  • Security team mentorship and organizational development
  • Regulatory compliance oversight (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, HIPAA, PCI)
  • Risk register development and ongoing risk management
