Risk Register Ownership:

Maintain and continuously improve the cybersecurity and crown-jewel risk registers, ensuring risks are clearly defined, scored, prioritized, and kept current. Track risk status from identification through treatment and closure, including documenting decisions, owners, due dates, dependencies, and evidence. Design, implement, and monitor KRIs and related metrics, such as control health, incident trends, and assessment throughput, to provide an objective view of risk posture. Meet regularly with risk owners and functional leaders to gather updates, validate assumptions, and align on risk treatment plans and progress. Evaluate how risks propagate across systems, suppliers, processes, and programs; surface second-order and cascading impacts in risk narratives and dashboards. Collaborate with the Cyber TPRM lead where responsibilities intersect, including supplier-driven risks, concentration risk, and systemic control gaps, to ensure consistent risk assessment and treatment. Help facilitate workshops and review sessions with business and technology leaders to clarify risk scenarios, tradeoffs, and treatment options.
