• Support preparation for external audits and assist with auditor queries
• Provide clear, pragmatic guidance on compliance best practice
• Track actions and milestones to ensure delivery within the contract period

Required Experience

• Proven experience supporting SOC 2 and/or ISO 27001 audits or readiness programmes
• Good understanding of information security, risk management, and control frameworks
• Experience working in an auditor, consultant, or assurance capacity
• Confident communicator, able to work with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• Practical, solutions-focused mindset
