Security and Risk management reflects a broad range of skills and necessities in terms of management for an organisation.
For those working at a strategic level, individuals working in security and risk management will set the processes for what best practice looks like for a company.
Aside from setting strategies, common Security and Risk management roles relate to practitioner based role requirements – developing information security management systems (ISMS) through the creation and implementation of security policies and procedures. As part of this provision, they set the criteria that technical controls will follow, and are effectively the formalisation of requirements that technical security controls will serve to meet.
Often in environments where compliance is not a direct concern, security and risk management professionals will develop an internal standard for compliance, or will take a risk-based approach that allows them to ascertain effective levels of cyber security whilst still acting as an enablement function.
Acumin| RSR Digital place candidates in roles including Information Security Officer, Information Security Manager, Information Risk Manager, Security Awareness Manager, and Information Security Analysts.
Technical security roles relate to the day to day management of the software and hardware based controls that reinforce an organisation’s information security management system (ISMS).
