  • Maintain a structured, audit-ready evidence repository with clear naming, versioning and traceability
• Project governance and coordination

  • Handle the administrative and practical aspects of project governance
  • Escalate blockers and overdue actions to the CISO in a timely manner
• Plan and coordinate the agendas for internal and external audits (ISO 27001 certification, surveillance audits, NIS2-related assessments)
• Schedule auditees and interviews, and make sure documentation and evidence are ready beforehand
• Track audit findings and follow up on corrective actions with the relevant owners
  • Required
    • Bachelor's degree or higher (information management, business administration, IT, law, or a related field)
    • Working knowledge of information security governance and a good understanding of ISO/IEC 27001 (certification not required)
    • Highly structured, organized and detail-oriented, with a strong sense of follow-up
    • Assertive and credible communicator, comfortable chasing stakeholders at all levels
    • Advanced Excel skills (formulas, pivot tables, dashboards) and strong PowerPoint skills for clear management reporting
    • Strong written and spoken English and French; Dutch is a clear asset in the Belgian context
    • First experience (1–3 years) in compliance, GRC, audit support, PMO/PSO or a similar role
• Nice to have
  • Familiarity with NIS2 and the Belgian framework (national law, Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium, CyFun)
  • Knowledge of other frameworks (ISO 27002, NIST, CIS) or GRC tools
  • Foundation-level certification (e.g. ISO 27001 Foundation)
