Job Description:

About the Organisation:
National Services Scotland (NSS) is a national NHS Board operating right at the heart of NHSScotland, providing invaluable support and advice at a strategic and operational level. NSS supports customers to deliver their services more efficiently and effectively and we offer shared services on a national scale using best-in-class systems and standards. Our priority is always the same – to improve the health and well-being of the people of Scotland. We do this by working in partnership with colleagues across Health and Social Care to deliver fit for purpose solutions and systems, delivering high quality services that help our stakeholders to free up resources so they can be re-invested into essential services. The security services and technology provided by NSS Digital and Security (DaS) are critical operational components, used 24/7 365 days a year.

The Post:
NSS DaS operates the Cyber Centre of Excellence (CCoE), providing modern, proactive, and efficient national cybersecurity services for NHSScotland. This is an exciting opportunity for two Senior Cyber Security Analysts to join the CCoE’s Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC), responding to incidents, working on projects and providing excellent services to NHSScotland’s Health Boards.

The post holders will lead and contribute to projects that extend and improve the capabilities of the CCoE, and that improve the cybersecurity stature and awareness of our customer base. They will engage with the team, stakeholders, and external suppliers to develop, validate, and continually improve processes and playbooks that prepare us for cybersecurity incidents ranging from localised issues to complex, multi-actor national incidents with lateral threat movement and severe impact on Scotland’s national core infrastructure.

In collaboration with the CSOC team, they will develop and improve operationally relevant KPIs and KRIs and associated reporting mechanisms that are suitable to evidence performance to the CCoE and NSS DaS management team, and that demonstrate value to our stakeholders.

During an active incident, the post holder is required to provide level-headed and hands-on response actions alongside the CSOC team and external service providers. They can draw on the support of the CCoE and CSOC leadership, and are enabled and authorised to take proactive steps that contain and minimise the impact of an incident. They provide concise situational updates to a wide audience, ranging from fellow CS professionals to CSOC and CCOE management.
