Manage Information Security monitoring and penetration testing activities.
Establish and enforce Information Security policies, procedures, and training that promote a culture of Information Security awareness across the organization.
Monitor and respond to Information Security incidents, conduct root cause analysis, and lead remediation efforts.
Stay abreast of evolving cybersecurity threats, compliance requirements, and industry frameworks (NIST, SOC) to continuously strengthen Inspire’s security posture.
Act as the primary liaison for external regulators, auditors, and partner security teams.
