IT Security Advisor and Coach | XRUK GDPR & Security

XRUK GDPR & Security are looking for someone who can make our IT security better for both individual volunteers, and centrally on the services we use and provide. This will be someone who understands best practice and how to communicate well to a wide range of people.

You will be working collaboratively with people across our range of campaigning teams and local groups.

You will have experience of working in people centred organisation, in a friendly and cooperative way.

You will also help with writing web pages, procedures, writing up reports, and setting up reviews, so people know what they have to do, and we re-visit them to offer encouragement and support.

You will be familiar with the technical language used in the following areas (ideally at least two):

  • Identity and access management
  • Information security risk identification & prioritisation
  • Internet and communications security
  • Privacy and data protection
  • Web application security

    At the end of the day you will have helped us act effectively, taking away the dangers of weak security.
