  • 5. Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)

  • Define and maintain the cybersecurity governance framework aligned with NAIC Model Law, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and applicable privacy laws.

  • Support third-party risk management and vendor security assessments.
  • Lead internal and external security audits and oversee compliance documentation.
  • 6. AI Security

  • Architect secure AI / ML systems for insurance applications such as underwriting, fraud detection, and claims automation.
  • Implement AI model governance, ensuring data integrity, explainability, and compliance with emerging AI regulations.
  • Mitigate risks such as model poisoning, bias, prompt injection, and data leakage.
  • Collaborate with data science and actuarial teams to secure AI pipelines handling sensitive customer and financial data.
  • Stay current with AI risk frameworks (NIST AI RMF, ISO / IEC 23894, EU AI Act).
  • 7. Leadership & Collaboration
