Information Security Officer GRC (1.0 FTE)

Functieomschrijving

Are you a Security professional who wants to rise above yourself, in your profession and as a person? Do you want to be challenged every day? At the TU/e, scientists and students continuously create the unthinkable. The strength of the IT landscape is their key to success and, hence, so are you. These creative minds expect you to offer them a solution for tomorrow that does not exist today. Together we are building the high-performance backbone that this epicenter of science and technology demands.

Information security is a high-priority topic at Eindhoven University of Technology. Our research (and other) data is as open as possible and is protected where it needs to be confidential. Accountability lies with the management of the university, and everyone (student or staff) has their own role to play. Our Governance, Risk and Compliancy (GRC) Team has advising, mitigating, and auditing responsibilities. This team also translates our security guidelines to tactical and operational activities.

The position

We are a team of three looking for an Information Security Officer GRC (Governance Risk Compliance). You can apply information security in all ICT domains, know how to perform a risk assessment and are able to audit the implementation and effectiveness of information security controls and define compensating controls when gaps are identified, based on the NBA audit framework. You are  a (technical) specialist, as we want to also be able to provide a helping hand to the scientific departments to increase their security maturity. Understanding the organizational structure and processes of a university is therefore a preference.
