  • Coordinate with privacy, corporate security, and Secure by Design stakeholders to ensure complete and consistent assessment coverage.
  • Ensure assessment outcomes are accurately reflected in risk registers and personal data processing records.
  • Support and coordinate penetration testing activities from onboarding through to final reporting and remediation tracking.
  • Apply in-depth understanding of AI and GenAI use cases, including retrieval-augmented generation, AI agents, and large language model automation, and assess their security and privacy implications.
  • Maintain awareness of enterprise AI platforms, their architecture, and existing security controls to ensure alignment when onboarding or modifying AI-related capabilities.
  • Track mitigation actions through to closure, escalating unresolved risks through appropriate cyber risk governance forums.
  • Support security approvals across development, pre-production, and production environments when enabling new capabilities.
  • Provide guidance to internal teams, suppliers, and third parties to ensure alignment with Vodafone security standards and regulatory obligations, including GDPR.
