Third Party Cyber Assurance Analyst
We are seeking a Third Party Cyber Assurance Analyst to support the assessment and ongoing monitoring of suppliers, partners, and service providers that have access to sensitive information or critical systems. You will help ensure that third parties meet required cybersecurity, privacy, and resilience standards throughout the relationship lifecycle, from onboarding and due diligence through to renewal, remediation, and exit. This role will work closely with procurement, legal, risk, technology, and business stakeholders to identify and manage third-party cyber risk effectively.
Key responsibilities will include reviewing security questionnaires, independent assurance reports, certifications, penetration testing results, policies, and other evidence provided by third parties. You will assess control effectiveness against recognised frameworks and internal requirements, document findings, assign risk ratings, and track corrective actions through to completion. You will maintain accurate records of assessments and risk decisions, produce clear management information, and escalate significant issues or overdue remediation where appropriate. The role will also contribute to improving assessment methodologies, strengthening supplier security requirements, and supporting periodic reviews of higher-risk relationships.
The successful candidate will have experience in third-party risk management, cyber assurance, information security, technology risk, audit, or a related discipline. You should be comfortable interpreting technical and non-technical evidence, challenging responses constructively, and communicating risk clearly to stakeholders with varying levels of technical knowledge. Familiarity with frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, SOC 2, PCI DSS, or equivalent regulatory requirements is desirable. Strong analytical, organisational, and report-writing skills are essential, along with the ability to manage multiple assessments and deadlines. Relevant professional qualifications in cybersecurity, information assurance, risk, audit, or privacy would be advantageous.
