Risk‑Based Issue Validation Execution Own and execute risk‑based validation for high‑risk issues, including defining validation scope, test strategy, sample approach, and acceptance criteria. Perform walkthroughs, inquiries, evidence inspection, and, where needed, re‑performance testing to confirm remediation effectiveness.

Validation Readiness and Artifact Review Drive validation readiness by confirming required remediation artifacts exist, including updated control design, procedures, monitoring, operational evidence, and sustainability mechanisms.

Validation Outcomes and Feedback Where validation fails, return the issue to the appropriate stage and provide clear feedback on identified gaps and documentation expectations.

Issue Quality and Risk Assessment Assess issue statements, root cause, risk impacts, control objectives, and linkage to applicable requirements. Challenge issue quality to ensure completeness, consistency, and audit defensibility.

Remediation Sustainability Assessment Ensure remediation plans are risk‑aligned and sustainable, including compensating controls and interim risk reduction steps where applicable.

Issue Oversight & Governance Manage and oversee the Technology Issue Management program, including end‑to‑end issue lifecycle execution, governance, and stakeholder engagement. This includes coordinating issue review forums, validating high‑risk issues, overseeing risk acceptance decisions, tracking actions to closure, and delivering clear, consistent status reporting to leadership.

Continuously assess the effectiveness and maturity of issue management processes, using metrics and risk insights to identify improvement opportunities and drive sustainable process enhancements.
