- Assist in responding to security incidents and conducting vulnerability assessments.
- Support internal and external audits (e.g., ISO 27001/27701) by gathering evidence and assisting with remediation tasks.
- Assist in delivering local security awareness training, phishing simulations, and other educational programs.
