Security Assurance Analyst
We are seeking a Security Assurance Analyst to support the organisation’s information security, risk management and compliance objectives. In this role, you will help assess the effectiveness of security controls across systems, applications, suppliers and business processes. You will work with stakeholders across technology and operations to identify risks, recommend practical improvements and help ensure that security requirements are understood and consistently applied.
Your responsibilities will include planning and conducting security assurance reviews, documenting findings and tracking remediation activities through to completion. You will maintain risk and control registers, support internal and external audits, and contribute evidence for regulatory, contractual and governance requirements. You will also review security policies, standards and procedures, assist with third-party and supplier assessments, and help evaluate areas such as access management, vulnerability management, incident response, data protection and business continuity. Clear reporting will be essential, including the preparation of concise updates, risk summaries and recommendations for senior stakeholders.
The successful candidate will have experience in information security, IT risk, assurance, audit, governance or a related discipline, with a good understanding of security frameworks and control principles. Familiarity with standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, SOC 2 or relevant data protection regulations would be advantageous. You should be analytical, organised and confident in challenging processes constructively, with the ability to translate technical issues into clear business impacts. Strong written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities are essential. Professional qualifications in information security, audit, risk or compliance are desirable, as is experience using governance, risk and compliance tools. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to meaningful security improvements while developing broad experience across assurance and risk management.
