Job Title: eIDAS Auditor

Location: UK, Italy, Spain, France, or Germany

Job Type: Permanent, Full-time

Salary: Competitive basic salary plus bonus, company car and excellent benefits

Are you looking for the opportunity to advance your career within eIDAS regulations by becoming an auditor?

BSI is a conformity assessment body for the UK and EU eIDAS Regulation and provides certification that is recognized across the European Union by trust service providers and regulatory authorities. This BSI conformity assessment ensures that digital trust services meet the required standards of security, reliability, and compliance. It is designed to support Qualified Trust Service Providers (QTSPs) in delivering trusted services such as electronic signatures, seals, timestamps, and website authentication, fostering confidence in the digital ecosystem.

As a BSI eIDAS auditor you will join our team of experienced professionals.

You’ll have solid working knowledge and experience in Trust Services Providers, including a good understanding of eIDAS, Trust Services and the relevant ETSI standards. Previous experience with auditing management system standards such as ISO 27001 is desirable but not essential.

You’ll be home-based, but you’ll be out and about visiting our clients daily (so you need to be comfortable with daily travel and will need to hold a full driving licence). You’ll usually spend nine out of ten days auditing. You’ll need to be comfortable with interacting and speaking to different people in all capacities.

To ensure you have a good work/life balance, we like to minimise the travel requirements on our Auditors wherever possible, which may also include some remote auditing. That means for this role, we’re looking for someone located in either the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, France or Germany.

Key Responsibilities

• Conducting compliance audits for Qualified Trust Service Providers (QTSPs) under the eIDAS Regulation.
• Evaluating systems, policies, and processes for adherence to standards such as ETSI EN 319 401, 319 411-1/-2, EN 319 421 and other relevant specifications.
• Producing and reviewing detailed audit reports with actionable recommendations.
• Staying updated on legislative changes and technical standards within the trust services domain.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to address complex compliance challenges.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Proven experience in digital trust services or information security.
• In-depth knowledge of eIDAS Regulation and related ETSI standards.
• Certifications such as CISA, ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor, or equivalent (preferred).
• Strong understanding of cryptographic principles and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
• Excellent analytical skills and attention to detail.
• Effective communication and report-writing skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects.

BSI offers a competitive total reward package, an independent and varied job in an international environment, flexible working hours, ongoing training and development with the inclusion of Paid Holiday, Pension Plan, Health Cover and company Bonus Scheme.
