Job Description:

Information Security Analyst – 3-month contract – Northampton

My Customer is seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Information Security Analyst to join their team. This role focuses on two critical areas: operational support for GDPR compliance, particularly handling Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), and ensuring day-to-day adherence to their Information Security Management System (ISMS).

Key Responsibilities of the Information Security Analyst:

1. GDPR Compliance & DSAR Handling

  • Act as the main point of contact for receiving, investigating, and responding to Subject Access Requests (SARs) and other GDPR-related requests.
  • Liaise with internal teams to gather the required data, ensure accuracy, and meet legal timeframes.
  • Maintain clear records of request handling in line with regulatory and audit requirements.
  • Provide input on GDPR matters where necessary, without being responsible for policy creation or process design.

2. ISMS Oversight & Compliance

  • Support the ongoing maintenance of the Information Security Management System (ISMS).
  • Conduct regular checks and reviews to confirm that existing security policies and processes are being followed.
  • Identify gaps in compliance and follow up with internal stakeholders to ensure corrective actions are taken.
  • Assist with evidence gathering and tracking actions for internal audits and external certification reviews (e.g., ISO 27001).

Skills from the Information Security Analyst:

  • Proven experience managing GDPR-related activities, especially actioning Subject Access Requests.
  • Familiarity with data protection regulations and handling sensitive information securely.
  • Hands-on experience working within an ISMS framework, ideally in environments aligned to ISO 27001.
  • A methodical and structured approach to compliance verification and policy adherence.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to follow up effectively with stakeholders.

The Information Security Analyst is required onsite in Northampton, 2 days per week.

Why Cyber Security Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Cyber security used to be viewed primarily as a technical discipline: firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection, penetration testing. In the UK today, it’s far broader. Organisations now face complex legal frameworks, ethical dilemmas, human-behaviour risks, communication challenges & usability hurdles. This shift means cyber security careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. From protecting NHS patient records to defending financial services, securing supply chains & safeguarding national infrastructure, cyber security now touches every sector. Employers increasingly want professionals who understand law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design alongside traditional technical skills. In this article, we’ll explore why UK cyber security careers are expanding in this way, how these five disciplines shape the profession, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this new landscape.
