Naimuri - Information Security Officer
Job Location: Salford Quays, Manchester
Job Type: Permanent, Full-time - onsite
Job ID: 20594
The Mission:
At Naimuri, we provide the tech that protects. As our Information Security Officer, you will sit at the heart of our mission, bridging the gap between high-level compliance and hands-on technical security. You won’t just be writing policies; you’ll be ensuring they work in the real world. Reporting directly to the Head of Security, you will play a pivotal role in maintaining our reputation as a trusted partner to our customers.
The Balance: What You’ll Be Doing:
Governance, Risk & Compliance (The "Handoff")
- Framework Management: Manage and evolve our security management systems, ensuring we remain aligned with security frameworks & standards, e.g. Cyber Essentials Plus & ISO27001.
- Policy Evolution: Work with the Head of Security to develop and implement security policies that balance the need for security with the agility needed for a modern tech company.
- Security Auditing: Conduct internal audits and coordinate with external assessors to ensure our security posture is ironclad.
- Third-Party Risk: Assess the security of our supply chain and software vendors.
Technical Security & Operations (The "Hands-on")
- Collaborative Defence: Work alongside the internal teams to harden our cloud environments (AWS/Azure) and ensure end-user devices (laptops, mobile) are configured securely.
- Vulnerability Management: Run and remediate vulnerability scans; don’t just report the issues; help figure out how to fix them.
- Incident Response: Be a key part of our incident response team, investigating alerts and refining our "playbooks" for future threats.
- Identity & Access: Manage the lifecycle of software licenses and access controls, ensuring the principle of least privilege is always met.

- Experience: 2-4 years in an Information Security or dual IT/Security role, ideally within a regulated industry or government-adjacent sector.
- Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with cloud platform security (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and MDM solutions for managing corporate devices.
- Regulatory Knowledge: Understanding of UK Data Protection/GDPR and ISO 27001.
