Cyber Security Officer (Insider Risk)
We are seeking a Cyber Security Officer (Insider Risk) to support the protection of sensitive information, systems and services from risks originating within the organisation. You will help identify, assess and manage insider threats, including negligent, compromised and malicious activity, while promoting a proportionate, intelligence-led approach to security. Working collaboratively with cyber security, IT, information governance, human resources, legal and operational teams, you will contribute to a strong culture of security and responsible information handling.
Key responsibilities will include monitoring and analysing security alerts, user activity and other relevant data sources to identify unusual or potentially harmful behaviour; supporting the investigation, assessment and management of insider-risk cases; maintaining accurate case records and producing clear reports for senior stakeholders; and helping to develop and improve insider-risk policies, procedures, controls and response plans. You will also contribute to security reviews, risk assessments, awareness activities and incident exercises, ensuring that lessons identified are translated into practical improvements. The role will require careful handling of confidential information and a balanced approach that considers privacy, fairness, proportionality and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Applicants should have experience in cyber security, information assurance, security operations, investigations, risk management or a closely related discipline. You will need a sound understanding of insider-risk principles, access management, security monitoring, incident response and information protection, together with the ability to interpret technical and behavioural information. Strong analytical, written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the confidence to work with colleagues at all levels and manage sensitive matters discreetly. An appropriate cyber security or risk-related qualification would be advantageous. The successful candidate will be inquisitive, ethical, organised and pragmatic, with the judgement to distinguish genuine risk from normal activity and the ability to recommend effective, proportionate action.
