AI Security Governance Architect

Responsibilities

• AI security governance framework
• Define and mature the security governance model for AI systems, including intake, registration, risk classification, control mapping, approvals, exceptions, monitoring and periodic reassessment.
• AI use case risk assessment
• Assess AI and GenAI use cases from a cybersecurity perspective, covering:
• Access control and identity context
• Agentic AI permissions and tool execution
• Logging, monitoring and incident response
• Model exposure and misuse risk
• Prompt injection and indirect prompt injection
• Sensitive data leakage
• Data classification and data residency
• Model supply chain and third-party AI services
• Human oversight and approval workflows
• Security-by-design requirements for AI applications
• Control design and operationalization
• Translate risks into practical security controls, including policies, technical requirements, architecture patterns, guardrails, evidence requirements, control owners and acceptance criteria.
• The role should be able to define what "good" looks like for different AI patterns: internal copilots, M365 Copilot, custom GenAI apps, RAG systems, AI agents, vendor AI features, ML models and low-code/no-code AI automations.
• Tooling integration and control mapping
• Work with existing tools such as HiddenLayer, Sentra, Zenity and the AI registration/control tower process to ensure the governance model is not theoretical.
• Expected activities include:
• Mapping tool capabilities to governance controls
• Defining required data fields in the AI registry
• Establishing dashboards and control evidence
• Identifying gaps between tooling coverage and policy expectations
• Supporting integration with GRC, CMDB, DLP, IAM, SIEM/SOC, cloud security and data governance processes
• Deliverables
• Typical deliverables should include:
• AI control framework
• AI use case classification model
• Security requirements for AI/GenAI projects
• AI security architecture patterns
• AI registry/control tower data model recommendations
• Tooling-to-control mapping
• Exception and risk acceptance process
• KPI/KRI dashboard proposal
• Security review templates
• AI security awareness material for project teams
• Roadmap for maturity improvement

Requirements

• 8+ years in cybersecurity , with strong experience in security governance, security architecture, risk management or AppSec/CloudSec.
• Real understanding of AI/GenAI security risks , especially LLM application risks, prompt injection, data leakage, model supply chain, AI agent permissions, RAG security, model/API exposure and third-party AI usage.
• Ability to build governance that works operationally , not just policy documents. This is important: Nestlé likely does not need someone to explain that AI is risky; they need someone who can help make the program executable.
• Experience with enterprise control frameworks
• Excellent documentation and communication skills , with the ability to produce executive-ready material and technical control definitions.
• Strongly desirable:
• Experience with one or more of:
• AI governance programs
• AISPM Experience
• GenAI application security reviews
• M365 Copilot / enterprise copilots
• AI agent governance
• ML/LLM model risk management
• Data Security Posture Management
• Cloud security architecture
• Secure SDLC / DevSecOps
• Third-party AI vendor risk
• GRC tooling and control evidence automation
• SOC monitoring for AI-related threats
• Experience with tools such as HiddenLayer, Sentra, Zenity, Wiz, Microsoft Purview, Defender, CSPM/CWPP, DLP, SIEM/SOAR, cloud-native security tooling or GRC platforms would be valuable.
• Certifications / knowledge:
• Useful but not mandatory:
• CISSP, CISM, CRISC or equivalent
• Clou
• ai security governance framework
• ai use case risk assessment
