Governance Risk & Compliance (GRC) Analyst
JOB DESCRIPTION:
The GRC Analyst is a member of the Governance, Risk & Compliance function within the Global Information Security Office and supports the implementation of company-wide security governance, risk management, and compliance programs. Under the direction of the GRC Functional Leader, the analyst contributes to policy development, risk oversight, and continuous improvement of the organization's security posture. The role also works closely with regional Information Security Officers (ISOs) and cross-functional teams to support the deployment of global standards and local regulatory requirements.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES:
Company-wide risk assessment and audit response: Support information security risk assessments for new projects, systems, and business processes. Assist in conducting internal control reviews (e.g., J-SOX), preparing audit materials, and coordinating responses to internal and external auditors. Track and follow up on remediation actions to ensure timely closure of identified risks.
Policy Development and Management: Contribute to drafting, updating, and maintaining global information security policies, standards, and procedures. Review relevant laws, regulations, and industry frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, NIS2) and incorporate stakeholder feedback into documentation. Support the rollout and implementation of policies across regions.
Maintain compliance and certification: Monitor adherence to security and regulatory requirements, including ISO 27001, NIS2, and GDPR. Collect and organize compliance evidence, track corrective actions, and support certification and regulatory readiness efforts such as ISO 27001/42001 and NIS2 programs.
Supplier Risk Management: Conduct third-party security risk assessments by distributing questionnaires, analyzing responses, verifying controls, and documenting results in the GRC tracking systems. Identify and escalate high-risk findings to the GRC Functional Leader and support follow-up mitigation activities.
Security Awareness and Training: Participate in the planning and implementation of security awareness programs for all Terumo associates. Specifically, help to improve the security literacy of associates by creating e-learning materials and training materials, conducting phishing email exercises, and distributing disseminated content on internal portals. The GRC Analyst will help foster a culture in line with the company-wide security strategy promoted by the GRC functional leader.
Cybersecurity Regulatory Monitoring (Industrial Systems, IT Systems, and Critical Infrastructure): Monitor and analyze global regulatory developments related to cybersecurity with a focus on industrial control systems (ICS), IT environments, and critical infrastructure. Assist in evaluating how new or updated regulations (e.g., NIS2, FDA cybersecurity expectations, industrial cybersecurity standards, or country-specific critical infrastructure laws) impact company operations. Track emerging obligations, document requirements, and support gap assessments to ensure timely compliance.
CISO Dashboard: Assist in the preparation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of the CISO Dashboard by collecting, validating, and analyzing security metrics across the Global GRC function. Compile key performance indicators (KPIs) and key risk indicators (KRIs) related to compliance status, audit findings, supplier risk, incident trends, training completion, regulatory readiness, and other relevant security domains. Support the visualization and communication of security posture to senior leadership by ensuring data accuracy, timely updates, and clarity in reporting, enabling informed decision-making across the cybersecurity program.
AI Security Oversight: Support the development and enforcement of governance controls for the secure use of artificial intelligence technologies across the organization. Assist in identifying risks related to AI systems-such as model security, algorithmic integrity, and misuse-and contribute to risk assessments and mitigation plans. The GRC Analyst will also help evaluate third-party AI tools.
