Director of Security Assurance & Trust

Reference: jy58xgerfshcfw5djwn8

We are seeking a Director of Security Assurance & Trust to lead the development and delivery of a mature, risk-based security assurance programme. This senior role will provide strategic direction across information security, privacy, resilience and third-party assurance, helping to build confidence with customers, partners, regulators and internal stakeholders. You will establish clear governance, strengthen security culture and ensure that assurance activities support business objectives while meeting relevant legal, regulatory and industry requirements.

You will oversee security assurance frameworks, policies, controls and reporting, ensuring that risks are identified, assessed, treated and communicated effectively. Responsibilities will include leading audit and certification programmes, managing customer and supplier assurance activity, coordinating responses to due diligence requests, and maintaining oversight of regulatory obligations and emerging threats. You will work closely with technology, engineering, legal, privacy, risk and operational teams to embed security by design and improve the organisation’s overall control environment. The role will also involve developing meaningful metrics and board-level reporting, monitoring remediation plans, and providing constructive challenge where standards or risk tolerances are not being met.

The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in security assurance, governance, risk or compliance, ideally within a complex technology-led or regulated environment. You will have a strong understanding of recognised frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, CIS Controls or equivalent, together with experience of audit management, control testing, third-party risk and information security practices. Excellent communication and influencing skills are essential, as is the ability to translate technical and regulatory matters into clear business decisions. You will be a pragmatic, trusted leader who can operate strategically while remaining comfortable with detail, ambiguity and pace. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CISM, CISSP, CISA, CRISC or equivalent experience, would be advantageous.
