Security Assurance Specialist, Security Assurance
We are seeking a Security Assurance Specialist to support the delivery of effective security governance, risk management and assurance across a complex technology and business environment. This role will help ensure that security controls are appropriately designed, implemented and operating effectively, while promoting a practical, risk-based approach to information security.
You will plan and conduct security assurance reviews, control assessments and compliance activities across systems, services, suppliers and business processes. Responsibilities will include gathering and evaluating evidence, identifying control weaknesses, documenting findings and agreeing proportionate remediation plans with relevant stakeholders. You will monitor actions through to completion and provide clear, concise reporting on risk, assurance outcomes and emerging issues.
The role will also involve supporting internal and external audits, maintaining security assurance documentation, contributing to risk assessments and reviewing security aspects of projects, change initiatives and third-party engagements. You will work closely with technology, risk, compliance, procurement and operational teams to embed security requirements and improve the consistency and effectiveness of assurance practices.
Applicants should have experience in information security, IT risk, compliance, audit or security assurance, with a sound understanding of security frameworks, control principles and risk management methodologies. Familiarity with standards such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS is desirable, as is experience assessing cloud services, suppliers or technology environments.
You will be analytical, organised and confident in interpreting complex information and translating it into practical recommendations. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, along with the ability to build effective relationships and influence stakeholders at different levels. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications, such as CISA, CRISC, CISSP, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor or equivalent experience, would be advantageous.
This is an opportunity to contribute to a mature and continually evolving security function, helping strengthen resilience, accountability and confidence in the organisation’s information and technology environment.
