The Mission:
At Naimuri we provide the tech that protects. As our Information Security Officer you will sit at the heart of our mission bridging the gap between high-level compliance and hands-on technical security. You wont just be writing policies; youll be ensuring they work in the real world. Reporting directly to the Head of Security you will play a pivotal role in maintaining our reputation as a trusted partner to our customers.
The Balance: What Youll Be Doing:
1. Governance Risk & Compliance (The Handoff)
- Framework Management: Manage and evolve our security management systems ensuring we remain aligned with security frameworks & standards e.g. Cyber Essentials Plus & ISO27001.
- Policy Evolution: Work with the Head of Security to develop and implement security policies that balance the need for security with the agility needed for a modern tech company.
- Security Auditing: Conduct internal audits and coordinate with external assessors to ensure our security posture is ironclad.
- Third-Party Risk: Assess the security of our supply chain and software vendors.
2. Technical Security & Operations (The Hands-on)
- Collaborative Defence: Work alongside the internal teams to harden our cloud environments (AWS/Azure) and ensure end-user devices (laptops mobile) are configured securely.
- Vulnerability Management: Run and remediate vulnerability scans; dont just report the issues; help figure out how to fix them.
- Incident Response: Be a key part of our incident response team investigating alerts and refining our playbooks for future threats.
- Identity & Access: Manage the lifecycle of software licenses and access controls ensuring the principle of least privilege is always met.
Who You Are:
- The Bridge: You can talk tech within a very technical company but also explain risk to a non-technical stakeholder.
- Growth Mindset: You are at a mid-level stage in your career and are hungry to step up. You want a seat at the table where decisions are made.
- Agile & Dynamic: You thrive in fast-paced environments. Youd rather solve a problem than wait for a ticket to be assigned.
- Security First: You have a natural security mindset you see the vulnerability in the process before it becomes a problem.
Your Toolkit (Requirements):
- Experience: 2-4 years in an Information Security or dual IT/Security role ideally within a regulated industry or government-adjacent sector.
- Technical Knowledge: Familiarity with cloud platform security (AWS Azure or GCP) and MDM solutions for managing corporate devices.
- Regulatory Knowledge: Understanding of UK Data Protection/GDPR and ISO 27001.
- Certification: While not mandatory certifications such as CompTIA Security SSCP or CISM are a significant plus.
