• Help ensure monitoring controls are practical, supportable, and aligned with SOC operating processes.

Stakeholder Partnership & Risk Profiling

• Partner with application owners, technology teams, business stakeholders, and cybersecurity teams to understand application architectures, data flows, logging capabilities, and risk profiles.
• Determine appropriate security monitoring requirements based on the application's risk, technology, and operating context.
• Guide stakeholders throughout the monitoring onboarding lifecycle to ensure controls are implemented effectively.

Control Implementation, Testing & Operationalization

• Coordinate with SOC, engineering, and application teams to implement defined monitoring controls and supporting log sources.
• Ensure completed controls are documented, transitioned into operations, and supported by appropriate procedures and ownership.

Centralization & Standardization

• Help centralize and standardize security monitoring controls across regions, entities, and business lines.
• Contribute to global standards, reusable monitoring patterns, onboarding procedures, and governance documentation.
• Identify opportunities to reduce duplication and improve consistency across SOC monitoring services.

Operations Maturity, Metrics & Reporting

• Support initiatives that improve the maturity, efficiency, and transparency of security monitoring operations.
• Identify and maintain meaningful metrics and data sources that help stakeholders understand onboarding progress, control coverage, risk posture, and operational effectiveness.
• Prepare status updates and reporting for governance forums, leadership, risk partners, and other stakeholders.
• Develop automations to increase team efficiency and sustainability.

Gap Identification & Remediation

• Collaborate with cybersecurity, risk, control, audit, and technology teams to identify gaps in monitoring coverage or control implementation.
• Document gaps, coordinate remediation plans, track actions to completion, and escalate barriers when needed.
