• Coordinate cyber risk assessments and security requirements for IT, OT/ICS, communications, digital services and connected operational systems across the asset lifecycle.

• Ensure that cybersecurity, incident response, recovery, supply-chain security and assurance requirements are integrated into projects, contracts, operational procedures and management reporting.

• Support coordinated response to cyber and hybrid incidents, including escalation, crisis interfaces, lessons learned and corrective actions.

Regulatory compliance and assurance

• Coordinate security and resilience compliance in Poland, including applicable requirements concerning national critical infrastructure, the Polish National Cybersecurity System, NIS2, CER and related implementing legislation and guidance.

• Monitor emerging Polish and EU requirements and authority expectations, assess business impact, and translate them into actionable governance, controls, plans and evidence.

• Provide senior management and boards with integrated security, cyber and resilience reporting, risk assessments, regulatory updates, assurance status and recommended risk-treatment decisions.
