* Provide guidance and training to engineering teams on secure platform use and policy compliance.
* Support incident response, control testing, and remediation planning as part of the platform’s cyber assurance activities.
* Collaborate with Architecture, Security Operations, and Engineering leadership to identify and implement improvements that strengthen security maturity.
* Report regularly on platform assurance status, risks, and audit outcomes to leadership and governance boards.
* Champion a culture of continuous compliance and proactive cyber resilience across Engineering Platforms.

This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm).
