Support the development, maintenance, implementation and assurance of cyber security policies, standards, procedures and control frameworks.
Evaluate cyber security risks, threats, vulnerabilities and control gaps, and support practical treatment plans aligned to business risk and impact.
Coordinate cyber assurance activities, audits, control assessments and testing, including tracking findings and remediation with relevant owners.
Develop and maintain scripts, queries, integrations and automated workflows that improve evidence collection, compliance monitoring, control assurance and risk reporting.
Collaborate with internal teams, State and Territory Associations, suppliers and venues to implement proportionate controls, investigate exceptions and support cyber incident response activities.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Relevant experience in cyber security, information technology, governance, risk, compliance, assurance or a related discipline.
Relevant tertiary qualification, certification or equivalent practical experience in cyber security, IT, governance, risk, compliance, assurance or a related field.
Strong knowledge of cyber security principles, governance and assurance practices, risk management methodologies and relevant frameworks such as ISO and NIST.
Practical experience implementing, operating, maintaining or assuring technical and administrative cyber security controls within an established risk management framework.
Experience improving manual or repeatable processes through practical automation, workflow tools, reporting platforms, queries or integrations that support security operations, assurance, compliance monitoring or risk reporting.
