We are seeking an experienced Information Assurance and Security Officer to support the effective management of information security, data protection and business continuity across a complex public service environment.

Key responsibilities will include maintaining information assurance documentation, policies, procedures and risk registers; supporting security and privacy impact assessments; monitoring compliance with relevant legislation, standards and internal controls; and assisting with the investigation, management and reporting of security incidents. You will contribute to assurance activities, audits, risk reviews and business continuity planning, while working closely with technology, governance, procurement and operational teams. The role will also involve preparing clear reports for senior stakeholders, tracking remedial actions and helping to deliver training and awareness initiatives that encourage secure handling of information.
The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience in information security, information assurance, data protection, risk management or a closely related discipline.

Experience of incident response, audit, business continuity, supplier assurance and privacy legislation is also desirable.
