Information Security and Assurance Analyst
We are seeking an Information Security and Assurance Analyst to support the protection, resilience and effective governance of information systems, data and technology services. This role will contribute to the development and maintenance of security controls, assurance processes and risk management activities, helping to ensure that information security requirements are understood and consistently applied across the organisation. You will work with colleagues across technology, business and operational teams to promote good security practices and provide practical, risk-based advice.
Key responsibilities will include supporting security risk assessments, reviewing control effectiveness and maintaining accurate records of risks, issues, exceptions and remediation actions. You will assist with internal and external audits, compliance reviews, supplier assurance activities and the preparation of evidence, reports and management information. The role will also involve monitoring security policies and standards, identifying opportunities for improvement, contributing to incident investigations and supporting the coordination of actions arising from security events, audits and assurance reviews. You may also help deliver security awareness activities and provide guidance on data protection, access management, vulnerability management and secure working practices.
The successful candidate will have experience in information security, IT assurance, risk, governance, audit or a related discipline, together with a sound understanding of security frameworks, policies, controls and regulatory requirements. You should be analytical, organised and confident in assessing information, identifying weaknesses and communicating recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. Experience with recognised frameworks such as ISO 27001, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, COBIT or comparable standards would be advantageous, as would relevant professional qualifications or demonstrable equivalent experience. A proactive approach, sound judgement and a commitment to continuous improvement are central to success in this role.
