• Roles and Responsibilities:
• Conduct periodic and ad hoc cybersecurity risk assessments across IT and OT environments
• Perform OT-specific risk assessments on assets such as PLCs, HMIs, RTUs, and engineering systems
• Identify and document OT-relevant risk scenarios (e.g., control system disruption, unauthorized access, safety manipulation)
• Coordinate risk reviews as part of major IT/OT changes, such as system upgrades or new deployments
• Reassess risk posture following major changes, incidents, or regulatory updates
• Review and validate existing controls to calculate residual risk and prioritize treatment actions
• Provide standardized tools and guidance to support self-assessments by IT, OT, and business teams
• Support integration of assessment outcomes into control design, zoning, segmentation, and system deployment
• Track risk treatment progress and escalate overdue or high-priority items as needed
• Coordinate with performance management to define and monitor key risk indicators (KRIs) to proactively track changes in cybersecurity risk exposure
• Maintain the cybersecurity risk register, including OT-specific entries, capturing identified risks, likelihood and impact ratings, treatment plans, ownership, and status
• Coordinate and execute internal cybersecurity compliance assessments across all relevant domains and functions
• Serve as the lead interface for external audits and regulatory inspections, including preparation, execution, and response
• Conduct periodic compliance assessments of OT environments, including SCADA, DCS, PLCs, and associated network infrastructure
• Maintain an inventory of compliance-relevant OT assets and map them to applicable control requirements and standards
• Monitor adherence to cybersecurity policies, escalate non-compliance, and coordinate corrective actions with relevant teams
• Track and manage remediation plans for compliance gaps, non-conformities, and audit findings through closure
• Validate the effectiveness of implemented controls or mitigation plans before closing compliance gaps
• Review and validate configuration baselines for OT systems (e.g., firewall rules, firmware versions) to ensure alignment with compliance standards
• Coordinate evidence collection, documentation, and remediation planning for compliance-related findings
• Report OT and IT cybersecurity compliance status and risks to leadership and cybersecurity governance
• Support compliance awareness and training for teams with control responsibilities in both IT and OT
• Maintain a centralized compliance register, covering both IT and OT, that maps regulatory requirements to policies, controls, responsible teams, and evidence sources
• Govern third-party cybersecurity risk by maintaining standardized assessment processes, due diligence criteria, and remediation tracking
• Coordinate and conduct third-party cybersecurity assessments across IT and OT suppliers to ensure alignment with internal policies and regulatory requirements
• Review vendor-supplied OT systems and supporting documentation to ensure inclusion of security controls and compliance with applicable standards (e.g., NCA OTCC, IEC 62443)
• Ensure third-party risk findings are documented, risk-rated, and tracked through resolution, including acceptance or application of compensating controls
• Maintain a register of assessed vendors, associated risks, control gaps, and remediation status for ongoing oversight and reporting
• Collaborate with procurement, legal, and compliance to embed cybersecurity requirements into third-party agreements, including OT-specific clauses where applicable
• Contribute to the development and review of third-party security policy and minimum control requirements for use in procurement and onboarding
• Support internal and external audit requests related to third-party cybersecurity risk management

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Security, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Master's degree is preferred.
• 10–12+ years of cybersecurity experience.
• Strong experience in cybersecurity risk management, compliance, assessments, and assurance.
