Why this role?
I'm looking for an IT Security Officer to support the Information Security Officer and help find and close security gaps across the organisation.
This is a hands-on role covering security tooling, incident response, vulnerability management, and risk. You’ll work with IT and the wider business to put controls in place, investigate incidents, and make sure security issues are followed through to resolution.
What you’ll be doing
- Maintain security controls and tooling across vulnerability scanning, endpoint security, and network monitoring.
- Investigate security alerts and coordinate incident response from containment through to recovery.
- Run vulnerability assessments, coordinate penetration tests, and make sure issues are fixed.
- Assess security risks, agree mitigation plans, and escalate serious issues.
- Help control owners put effective controls in place and provide the evidence to prove they work.
- Set security requirements for projects, infrastructure changes, and new technology.
- Support audits and compliance reviews, and keep security processes, policies, and incident records up to date.
