Security Assurance Lead
We are seeking an experienced Security Assurance Lead to strengthen the organisation’s approach to information security governance, risk management and regulatory compliance. In this role, you will lead assurance activities across technology, operational and third-party environments, providing confidence that security controls are appropriately designed, implemented and operating effectively. You will work closely with senior stakeholders, technology teams, internal audit and external partners to promote a consistent, risk-based approach to security assurance.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining the security assurance framework, policies, standards and control requirements. You will plan and deliver control assessments, risk reviews, supplier assurance activities and audit engagements, while tracking findings through to effective remediation. The role will involve analysing evidence, identifying control weaknesses, preparing clear reports for governance forums and advising on practical improvements. You will also support regulatory and client assurance requests, contribute to security metrics and reporting, and help ensure that security risks are understood, prioritised and managed within agreed tolerances.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in information security, technology risk, audit, compliance or a related assurance discipline, ideally within a complex or regulated environment. You should have a strong understanding of security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, COBIT or equivalent, together with experience assessing technical and operational controls. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the ability to translate complex security matters into concise, actionable recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences. Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CISA or ISO 27001 Lead Auditor are desirable. A pragmatic, collaborative approach, strong attention to detail and the confidence to challenge constructively will be key to success.
