Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom Social Security Scotland Full time

Position Overview

The role of Senior Information and Cyber Security Officer is crucial in enhancing a robust Security Assurance initiative within the Digital Risk and Security sector. Working closely with the Head of Security Assurance, Security Risk and Assurance Manager, Security Architects, and other stakeholders in the Chief Digital Office, you will play a key role in safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our digital infrastructure and service offerings.

This position requires a proactive approach to maintaining a strong cyber security framework that aligns with the organization's risk tolerance. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in developing an Information Security Management System (ISMS) in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

The Digital Risk and Security division is tasked with formulating and executing the strategic framework for managing security risks, alongside overseeing operational cyber security, physical security, and personnel safety functions.

This division is divided into two primary sectors: Security Operations and Security Assurance. The Security Operations teams focus on cyber operations, cloud security engineering, protective monitoring, and physical security, while the Security Assurance teams concentrate on security risk management, compliance oversight, and security architecture.

This high-impact role offers the opportunity to make a significant and positive contribution to the services provided by Social Security Scotland.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and implement comprehensive security strategies to mitigate risks and ensure adherence to established standards.
  • Supervise teams conducting vulnerability assessments and risk evaluations, including business impact analyses on intricate information systems.
  • Formulate and advise on information security policies, standards, and best practices.
  • Interpret and apply information assurance and security policies to effectively manage risks.
  • Provide guidance on the adoption of information assurance architectures and strategies.
  • Utilize control testing data to support assurance evaluations.
  • Conduct threat identification and risk management activities.
  • Design, procure, and execute security projects.
  • Oversee third-party evaluations and conduct internal/external security assessments.
  • Lead security awareness initiatives and provide consultancy on various projects.
  • Create and enforce information security policies, procedures, and guidelines.
  • Enhance and support the Information Security Management System (ISMS).
  • Respond to security incidents effectively.
  • Mentor and lead a small team of security professionals.

Candidate Profile

1. Extensive knowledge of Information Security standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST SP 800-53, with demonstrated ability to interpret and apply these standards in organizational settings.

2. Thorough understanding of both internal and external information security risks, with proficiency in identifying, assessing, and implementing controls to mitigate these risks.

3. Proven experience in providing expert advice and leadership in the planning, execution, and management of Information Security projects, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives and industry best practices.

4. Familiarity with current legislation, regulations, and standards relevant to information security and privacy, including the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), with the capability to interpret legal requirements and integrate compliance measures into operational frameworks.

Employee Benefits

  • Annual Leave: 25 days upon joining, increasing to 30 days after four years of service, along with public and privilege days.
  • Civil Service Pension: Participation in a career average pension scheme as standard.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible working arrangements including full-time, part-time, term-time, and job shares.
  • Discounts: Access to a wide range of retail, travel, and lifestyle discounts through our benefits scheme.
  • Personal Support: Confidential, independent information and guidance available 24/7 through our Employee Assistance Programme.
