Your new company

I am looking to recruit a skilled Information Security Analyst to join a global leader in the shipping space, based in the heart of Southampton. You'll be joining a growing team within the CNI space.

Maintain and improve procedures, technologies and methods used to protect digital files and computer systems against unauthorised access, modification or destruction.
Coordinate and provide evidence for internal and external audits, certifications, and regulatory inspections.
Conduct compliance risk assessments and gap analyses, identifying areas for improvement and recommending corrective actions.
Track and report compliance status across systems and business units, highlighting risks and remediation progress.What you'll need to succeed
