In this role you'll support PwC NL’s Business Information Security Officer (BISO) and the wider CISO office in the day-to-day work that keeps PwC NL secure and compliant. You'll get hands-on exposure to ISO 27001, internal audits, risk registers, and security awareness campaigns from day one. It's a role where structured work, attention to detail, and curiosity will help you grow fast.

• Gather, organize, and maintain evidence for internal controls, audits, reviews, and framework compliance activities, and support risk monitoring by maintaining risk registers and following up on open issues. 

• Maintain the CISO office dashboard, kanban boards, and the team's SharePoint environment, including content creation, access management, and periodic reviews.
