Job Description*. 

This role reviews high‑risk security exceptions such as access to blocked websites, proxy or IAM control bypasses, and SSL inspection exclusions. The role assesses business need versus security risk, understands architecture, network and SDLC flows, ensures proper compensating controls, partners with security and risk teams, maintains audit‑ready documentation, tracks trends, and supports informed, time‑bound risk decisions.

Responsibilities*
Key responsibilities include:

• Review and assess high‑risk security and access exceptions, including:
  • Access to critical or high‑risk blocked websites
  • Proxy authentication bypass requests
  • IAM control deviations (authentication, authorization, MFA, service identities)
  • SSL/TLS content inspection exclusions
• Perform end‑to‑end risk analysis by evaluating architectural flows, network paths, identity boundaries, and trust relationships
• Assess the impact of bypassing enterprise security controls, including changes to attack surface, data exposure risk, and monitoring gaps
• Translate technical control deviations into clear business‑level risk statements aligned to regulatory and security standards
• Validate that exception requests are justified, time‑bound, least‑privileged, and aligned to documented business requirements
• Evaluate the adequacy of compensating controls (network restrictions, enhanced logging, multi factor authentication, monitoring, expiry enforcement)
• Partner with GIS, Software owners, Application teams, Network engineering teams, and Risk stakeholders to ensure informed decision‑making
• Apply SDLC and environment awareness (DEV, SIT, UAT, PROD) when evaluating risk tolerance and enforcement expectations
• Drive remediation plans or architectural fixes to reduce reliance on repeated or long‑term exceptions
• Track and facilitate closure or renewal of exceptions with defined ownership, rationale, and expiry timelines
• Identify portfolio‑level trends and systemic risks, such as recurring control bypasses or accumulating residual risk
• Publish and maintain risk dashboards and management metrics (exception aging, high‑risk exposure, control gaps)
• Ensure all exception decisions are audit‑ready, well‑documented, and compliant with AIT and enterprise security standards
• Promote a strong enterprise risk culture, reinforcing that exceptions are temporary, risk‑owned decisions
