Key responsibilities will include coordinating assurance reviews, maintaining risk and compliance registers, and monitoring the completion of agreed actions. You will contribute to the development and review of security policies, procedures, standards and guidance, while supporting data protection assessments, audit activity and responses to information security incidents. The role will also involve reviewing supplier and third-party assurance information, assessing the effectiveness of technical and procedural controls, preparing clear reports for stakeholders, and tracking emerging cyber and data risks. You may assist with awareness initiatives, training materials, business continuity activities and exercises designed to improve organisational resilience.

Familiarity with frameworks such as ISO 27001, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act and principles of risk-based assurance would be advantageous. Strong analytical, organisational and written communication skills are essential, together with sound judgement, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.
