Key Responsibilities
Provide independent industry perspective on impartiality risks

Hold voting authority within the Committee
Operate independently from management
May request documentation necessary to discharge oversight responsibilities
Have authority to escalate unresolved concerns in accordance with the Committee Charter
Competence Requirements
Candidates should demonstrate:
10+ years in enterprise security, risk management, governance, or executive oversight
Experience serving as CISO, Deputy CISO, VP Security, Risk Executive, or equivalent
Understanding of third-party assurance, certification, or regulatory oversight environments
Ability to operate at governance and oversight level rather than operational delivery
Preferred:
Experience interacting with certification bodies, regulators, or accreditation frameworks

Independence Requirements
Prior to appointment, candidates must:
Complete formal Conflict of Interest screening
Disclose advisory or financial relationships with RSI entities
