• Strengthen cybersecurity and risk posture – conduct security assessments, design and deliver a cybersecurity uplift roadmap (including 24×7 MDR), and run regular audits and risk assessments to ensure compliance and resilience. 
• Ensure robust backup and disaster recovery – design, implement and test backup and DR strategies to protect critical data and enable rapid restoration of services after incidents or outages.
• Provide handson IT support and training – act as the primary point of contact for IT issues, resolve incidents promptly, and deliver training and user guides to build digital capability across the organisation.
