Document vulnerability assessments, remediation activities, and compliance evidence using tools like Jira and vulnerability management platforms.

Develop and enforce secure coding guidelines, dependency management standards, and best practices.

Report on vulnerability status, remediation progress, and risk trends to stakeholders and security leadership.

Support incident response related to critical vulnerabilities, including zero-day exploits and high-severity CVEs.

Ensure adherence to internal policies and external regulations (such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, and SOC 2).
