The role will be responsible for building upon Parliament’s information security risk framework ensuring that information security is paramount and ensure that members and staff can fulfil their duties using technology that is safe and secure.

The postholder will operate across both Houses of Parliament and the Digital Service - you will provide independent assurance that technical solutions, storing or processing Parliamentary data are meeting appropriate security standards.

You will also be responsible for leading the programme of accreditation for Parliament, including the actions necessary to maintain these standards and mitigate risks identified. Applicable knowledge of national security policies, HMG security framework and procurement processes as well as a sound understanding of Information Assurance and risk management are essential to this role.

**What You Need**
- pro accreditation or assurance experience on a wide range of information systems is a requirement of the role but there may an opportunity for the post holder to undertake related training and advance information security qualifications.
- working knowledge of ISO27001/27002 control implementation and NCSC/CPNI guidance and assurance schemes. A good understanding of security related technologies including networks, remote access solutions and public key infrastructure.
- ability to analyse information and data, with excellent attention to detail to identify the main risks in complex situations, evaluate options and make sound accreditation decisions.
- ability to use evidence and knowledge, balancing business need with risk, to make sound decisions based on business requirements
- excellent oral and written communication skills with the ability to influence key stakeholders and present complex information clearly and effectively, with the ability to write policies and draft assessment reports for a wide range of audiences as required.
- ability to work collaboratively and inclusively with others, identifying where responsibility lies and using feedback from others in the decision-making process while upholding the principles of diversity and inclusion.
- demonstrable experience of influencing a diverse range of stakeholders at all levels, developing effective negotiation, influencing strategies and challenging assumptions where necessary.
- the ability to pass security clearance, backed by the right to work in the UK

In addition to demonstrating specialist knowledge of national security policies and standards relevant to information security, applicants must also demonstrate independent decision-making and the ability to build relationships with a range of stakeholders. You will be pragmatic, able to give advice in a diplomatic manner and politically neutral.
