Data Protection & Information Governance Officer

We’re looking for a Data Protection & Information Governance Officer to take ownership of the compliance and governance framework within a business where the integrity, security and control of data are critical.

Working alongside an established technical security team, this role focuses on the structure, documentation and assurance that underpins it. It is about ensuring the organisation can clearly evidence what it does, why it does it and that it stands up to audit and external scrutiny.

You’ll be responsible for maintaining and developing data protection and information security frameworks, including policies, controls and documentation aligned to standards such as ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials. You’ll manage the day-to-day administration of these frameworks, keeping them current, organised and embedded across the business.

The role will involve coordinating internal audits, supporting external certification processes and acting as a central point for compliance activity. You’ll work across teams to ensure policies are understood and followed, track risks and control actions and maintain key records such as data inventories, processing activities and incident logs.

You’ll also support GDPR and wider data protection obligations, including subject access requests, data handling processes and retention policies. This is a role that requires strong attention to detail, consistency and the ability to bring structure to complex or evolving requirements.

We’re looking for someone who understands the principles of data protection and information governance and enjoys owning the administrative engine behind it. You don’t need to be deeply technical, but you do need to be organised, methodical and confident working with frameworks, documentation and stakeholders across the business.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in a business where getting data protection and governance right genuinely matters, and where your work will have real visibility and impact.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
