  • Coordinate information security risk management, including its identification, assessment, treatment, mitigation, and monitoring, especially when they may affect operations, maintenance, or operational safety.
  • Work together with the Information Security, Safety, Operations, Maintenance, IAG Engine Tech, and Technology areas to identify risks and define appropriate mitigation measures.
  • Coordinate the application of applicable information security policies, standards, and controls, ensuring their awareness and compliance by the involved areas.
  • Interpret and translate the requirements, instructions, and guidelines of the competent aeronautical authorities into operational procedures and controls, including the management of any identified deficiencies.
  • Participate in the relevant Safety and Security governance bodies, promoting coordination between both disciplines.
  • Ensure that changes or the incorporation of new assets with a potential impact on the PART-IS risk profile are incorporated into the risk management process.
  • Collaborate in information classification and protection, as well as in the management of incidents, suppliers, and third parties within the scope of application.
