  • Review vendor compliance against rigorous digital payments standards, including PCI-DSS, PCI-PIN, and PA-DSS, ensuring technical control validation is performed where applicable.
  • Conduct technical control verification, including analyzing Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) reports and assessing the effectiveness of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) capabilities in vendor environments.
  • Continuous Monitoring and Risk Mitigation Advisory :

  • Establish and operationalize robust processes for continuous monitoring and periodic technical reassessments of third-party security and compliance posture using automated tools and manual deep-dive reviews.
  • Identify latent and emerging security risks in third-party engagements, translating potential vulnerabilities into actionable, business-focused mitigation strategies for internal stakeholders.
  • Provide expert advisory and technical guidance on security control implementation, leveraging security-by-design principles for data protection and API security during new third-party integrations.
  • Act as a technical liaison with business partners to ensure timely and effective implementation of recommended security controls and regulatory assurance in the digital payments ecosystem.
  • Reporting, Compliance, and Stakeholder Engagement :

  • Lead audit planning and collaborate with assurance teams to analyze control effectiveness, review reports, and present clear, data-driven findings on the overall third-party risk posture to C-level executives and senior management.
  • Partner with internal teams (Legal, Procurement, IT, CISO) to champion an integrated and streamlined approach to TPRM across the organization.
  • Ensure all third-party engagements maintain continuous compliance with relevant local and international laws, regulations, and industry standards.
  • Validate adherence to recognized international security frameworks, including ISO 27001 (ISMS), SOC Reports, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
  • Required Skills & Qualifications :

  • Experience : Mandatory experience working within Information Security or GRC, with significant focus on Vendor / Third-Party Risk Management.
  • Framework Expertise : Deep practical knowledge of major Cybersecurity Frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001) and regulatory compliance standards (PCI-DSS, SOC 2).

  • Digital Payments : Direct experience with regulatory and security requirements within the digital payments ecosystem (e.g., payment gateways, tokenization, mobile wallets).
  • Certifications : Industry-leading certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, or CISA are highly advantageous.
  • Automation : Experience implementing or utilizing GRC / TPRM automation platforms (e.g., OneTrust, ServiceNow GRC) to streamline assessment workflows and continuous monitoring.
  • API Security : Technical knowledge of best practices for securing APIs (e.g., OAuth 2.0, API Gateway configuration, rate limiting).
