• Support third-party and supply-chain risk management for applicable technology products and services, including remote access, vulnerability communication, software integrity and vendor assurance expectations.
• Promote a compliance-minded culture through documentation discipline, awareness support, continuous improvement and clear communication with technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
