Junior Cyber Risk and Assurance Analyst
We are seeking a motivated Junior Cyber Risk and Assurance Analyst to support the development, maintenance and continuous improvement of cyber security risk and assurance activities. This is an excellent opportunity for someone at the early stage of their cyber security career who is keen to build practical experience across governance, risk management, compliance and security assurance. You will work with colleagues across technology, risk and business functions to help identify, assess and manage cyber security risks in a structured and consistent way.
Key responsibilities will include supporting cyber risk assessments, maintaining risk registers and action plans, and assisting with the review of security controls against relevant policies, standards and regulatory requirements. You will help gather evidence for assurance reviews, internal audits and third-party assessments, while tracking findings through to resolution. The role will also involve preparing clear reports, dashboards and briefing materials; monitoring progress against remediation activities; supporting policy and procedure reviews; and contributing to awareness, training and continuous improvement initiatives. You may also assist with supplier and third-party risk assessments, vulnerability and incident reporting, and the coordination of governance meetings.
We are looking for candidates with a degree, professional qualification or equivalent experience in cyber security, information technology, risk, audit or a related discipline. An understanding of cyber security principles, risk management frameworks, security controls and common standards such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS is desirable. You should have strong analytical and organisational skills, excellent attention to detail, and the ability to communicate technical and risk-related information clearly to varied audiences. Familiarity with spreadsheets, reporting tools and risk or compliance platforms would be advantageous. Curiosity, integrity, a collaborative approach and a willingness to learn are essential. Relevant certifications, such as Security+, ISO 27001 Foundation, CISA or equivalent, are welcomed but not required.
