Security Accreditation Lead for Major Systems

Wlgroup; Den Haag; On-site; EUR 70,000 - 100,000; Full time

Job summary

Wlgroup is seeking a security accreditation specialist to join our risk and compliance team in the Netherlands. You will assess risk, assemble evidence, witness testing, and liaise with accreditation authorities to obtain formal clearance to operate.

You will bring years of cyber security experience, direct accreditation for large system projects, and strong knowledge of risk assessment methodologies and networks. Fluent English is essential for this role.

Qualifications

• Several years in cyber security — security architecture, delivery of security capabilities and services, or security risk management in demanding technical environments.
• Direct experience of accrediting major system acquisition or development projects in a large organisation.
• Security risk assessment methodologies and the tools that support them.
• Network knowledge with real deployment experience, including modern addressing.
• The independence to run your own work and the judgement to coordinate industry teams.
• A record of delivering systems and capabilities for government, military or industry customers.
• Fluent professional English.

Responsibilities

• Providing accreditation input into project proposals, statements of work and the wider project documentation, early enough to matter.
• Conducting security risk assessments for communication and information systems.
• Identifying, planning and managing the documents accreditation needs — system descriptions and security architecture, accreditation plans, risk assessment reports, security requirement statements, operating procedures and the test and verification plan.
• Witnessing security testing against that plan, and coordinating the remediation that follows with the people who have to do it.
• Building working relationships with accreditation authorities and with the internal units involved, so approval is a process rather than a negotiation.
• Feeding accreditation status into project and portfolio reporting, including highlight and exception reports.
• Briefing and presenting on the subject to people who are not specialists in it.
