Job summary

WLG, a multinational defence organisation based in Den Haag, invites an experienced cyber security professional to help assess risk and assemble the evidence required for security accreditation of complex systems.

You will witness testing, coordinate remediation with delivery teams, and liaise with accreditation authorities to keep approvals on track, while briefing stakeholders in clear, non-technical language.

Qualifications

• Several years in cyber security in demanding technical environments.
• Direct experience 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.
• 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.
