Information Security Analyst - GRC Focused
Permanent - 50k-55k + strong benefits
Location: Hybrid - Southampton area
Your new company
I am looking to recruit a skilled Information Security Analyst to join a global leader in the shipping space, based in the heart of Southampton. You'll be joining a growing team within the CNI space. The role will be hybrid, likely to be 2-3 days in office a week, in Southampton, so you will need to be based within a commutable distance.
Your new role
This is an Information Security Analyst role that focusses more on the GRC and policies/procedures rather than being a SOC/Technical Security Analyst role. The client is looking for someone who is experienced with ISO27001 and NIST. It is likely that the role will grow and develop in the future, depending on organisational growth. In the clients' words, key elements of the role include:
- Support the implementation, monitoring, and continuous improvement of information security frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, NIS Regulations, ISO/IEC 27001).
- Maintain and improve procedures, technologies and methods used to protect digital files and computer systems against unauthorised access, modification or destruction.
- Coordinate and provide evidence for internal and external audits, certifications, and regulatory inspections.
- Conduct compliance risk assessments and gap analyses, identifying areas for improvement and recommending corrective actions.
- Track and report compliance status across systems and business units, highlighting risks and remediation progress.
What you'll need to succeed
- GRC skills and strong communication skills
- Strong understanding of risks associated with bad security processes.
- Experience implementing ISO27001 and NIST. CE+ would be advantageous.
- A solid understanding of the cyber security risks associated with various technologies and how to apply appropriate controls to mitigate these.
- Experience in risk assessment and management in the context of information security.
- CompTIA Security+ and ISO27001 certificates would be advantageous.
What you'll get in return
As well as a salary of up to 55000, there is also a company bonus scheme, 26 holiday days + bank holidays, plus they will match your pension contribution, plus 2%, up to a 10% company contribution. There are other benefits also.
