• Review generative AI solutions, agentic workflows, and supporting platforms in cloud and on-premise settings.
• Write risk assessment reports that set out cyber risks and the controls that reduce them.
• Publish reusable solution patterns that make designs clearer, more consistent, and better aligned.
• Write security documentation, including policies, standards, and leading practices.
