Supporting secure information handling requirements, including Official-Sensitive and classified information.
Managing security compliance records, audit evidence and reporting.
Supporting internal, client and government audits.
Managing security incidents, breaches and non-conformances.
Delivering security briefings and supporting security awareness across project teams.

Knowledge of cyber security flow-downs and supply chain assurance requirements, including Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001.
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
Current SC Clearance (minimum), with the ability to obtain higher levels of clearance where required.
