• Security Control Implementation: Support the implementation and monitoring of security controls, ensuring they effectively address identified risks and meet ISO/IEC 27001 compliance objectives.
• Audit Readiness: Assist in preparing the organization for both internal and external audits by organizing documentation, participating in audit checklist reviews, and verifying the readiness and effectiveness of implemented controls.
• Compliance Documentation and Reporting: Contribute to the creation, updating, and maintenance of compliance documentation, including policies, procedures, audit records, and reports, ensuring accuracy and alignment with ISO/IEC 27001 standards.
• Continuous Improvement: Participate in initiatives to continuously improve our Information Security Management System (ISMS) and compliance processes.
• Self-Driven Learning: Utilize a self-study and reflection approach to deepen your understanding of ISO/IEC 27001, industry best practices, and emerging threats. Maintain a learning journal to document your experiences and insights.
