Information Security Engineer [211264]
Information Security Trust & Compliance Specialist
Client Location: London and/or Staines (mostly remote) Duration: July/August 2026 – until 30th September 2026 (potential extension) Contract Type: Non-client-facing, full-time (40hrs/week) contract via PAYE Pay Scale: £337.46–£374.95 per day
About the Role
Are you an analytical information security or risk professional with expertise in cloud operations, enterprise security domains, and emerging technology frameworks? We’re seeking an Information Security Specialist for our regional security office to act as a critical translator of complex technical security, risk, and compliance insights—without client-facing interactions.
This is a strictly written, asynchronous role focused on evaluating, interpreting, and responding to detailed security questionnaires. While the role isn’t hands-on in coding or infrastructure, you’ll map customer questions against architectures, data protocols, and upcoming AI trends, particularly Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions.
Key Challenges
- Review and respond to technical security and compliance questionnaires for global clients.
- Support sales teams by providing easily navigable security risk assessments.
- Translate emerging GenAI and Agentic AI data governance and security concerns for stakeholders.
- Ensure customer-facing documentation aligns with global compliance frameworks (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2).

- Document and address roadblocks surrounding data governance, privacy concerns, and security configurations in AI environments.
- Ensure compliance authoritativeness:

What We’re Looking For
- Breadth of security expertise:
- Proficient in information security architectures, including cloud operations, core security domains, and network protocols.
- Understand Linux fundamentals but you need to speak confidently rather than code.
- Questionnaire expertise:
- Proven experience with third-party risk assessments (TPRM), security audits, or vendor risk documentation.
- Emerging AI & cloud focus:
- Strong curiosity or foundational understanding of AI governance and security (Generative/Agentic AI).
- Precision in documentation:
