• Completed secure-by-design self-assessment trackers
• Risk assessment papers and treatment plans

• Ability to work across delivery, technical and risk teams, translating security requirements into practical actions
• Knowledge of secure-by-design approaches, threat assessment, risk management and vulnerability management
• Excellent communication skills, able to provide clear updates and advice to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
