Security Assurance Analyst
We are seeking a Security Assurance Analyst to support the delivery of effective information security governance, risk management and assurance activities. In this role, you will help assess the security posture of internal systems, services, suppliers and business processes, ensuring that appropriate controls are designed, implemented and operating effectively. You will work with stakeholders across technology, operations and business functions to identify risks, recommend improvements and promote secure working practices.
Key responsibilities include conducting security reviews, control assessments and compliance checks; maintaining risk and issue registers; supporting internal and external audits; and preparing clear reports for technical and non-technical audiences. You will help monitor remediation plans, validate evidence, track security metrics and contribute to the continuous improvement of policies, standards and assurance processes. The role may also involve reviewing third-party security documentation, supporting assessments against recognised frameworks and assisting with security incident or control investigations where required.
The successful candidate will have experience in information security, IT risk, governance, compliance, audit or a related discipline, together with a practical understanding of security controls and assurance principles. Familiarity with frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, COBIT or CIS would be advantageous. You should be confident analysing evidence, documenting findings and explaining risk in a clear and proportionate way. Strong communication, organisation and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISA, CRISC, ISO 27001 certification or equivalent experience, would be welcomed. A proactive mindset, attention to detail and commitment to continual learning are important for success in this position.
