Security Assurance Analyst
We are seeking a Security Assurance Analyst to support the delivery of robust information security, risk management and assurance activities across a complex technology and business environment. The successful candidate will help assess whether security controls are suitably designed, consistently applied and operating effectively, while providing clear, practical advice to support continuous improvement. This is an opportunity to work with stakeholders across technology, operations, compliance and governance functions.
Key responsibilities will include planning and performing security control assessments, reviewing policies, standards, procedures and technical evidence, and identifying control gaps or areas of non-compliance. You will contribute to risk assessments, audit preparation, supplier and third-party assurance reviews, security exception management and remediation tracking. The role will involve documenting findings, evaluating the potential impact of identified risks, agreeing proportionate corrective actions and monitoring progress through to completion. You will also help prepare management reports, assurance dashboards and briefing materials for governance forums, ensuring that complex security matters are communicated clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Applicants should have experience in information security, cyber assurance, IT audit, risk or a related discipline, with a practical understanding of security frameworks, control principles and regulatory expectations. Familiarity with standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, COBIT or CIS is desirable, as is experience assessing cloud services, applications, infrastructure or third-party suppliers. You will need strong analytical and investigative skills, excellent written and verbal communication, and the ability to challenge constructively while building effective working relationships. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications, such as CISA, CRISC, CISSP, ISO 27001 or equivalent experience, would be advantageous. A proactive, organised approach and the confidence to manage multiple priorities are essential.
