* Monitor security alerts and logs, triage events and escalate in line with the incident response plan.
* Support the response to security incidents, including containment, recovery and post\-incident review, under the direction of the IT Executive and as executed by the Head of IT.
* Support statutory notification obligations, including POPIA breach notification and reporting under the Cybercrimes Act.

**4\. Security Questionnaires \& Third\-Party Assurance**

* Complete security questionnaires received from customers and prospective customers, providing accurate responses and supporting evidence on Kaelo’s behalf.
* Maintain a library of approved standard responses, policies and evidence so that questionnaires are answered consistently and quickly.

* Self\-assess Kaelo against its own policies and the frameworks it aligns to, identifying control gaps.

* Maintain the ISMS under the direction of the IT executive, including the risk register, risk treatment plan and Statement of Applicability.
* Implement and evidence Annex A controls, and maintain the evidence required for internal audit and ISO 27001 certification audits.
* Support control mapping and gap assessment against FSCA Joint Standard 2, the CIS Controls and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
* Maintain the information security policy set and support POPIA compliance in partnership with the Information Officer.

**6\. Awareness, Resilience \& Reporting**

* Run the security awareness programme, including phishing simulation.

* Practical exposure to ISO 27001, the CIS Controls or the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
* Experience with vulnerability management and security monitoring.
* Working knowledge of POPIA and its application to security controls.

**Preferred**

* Exposure to an ISO 27001 certification or surveillance audit.
