Your responsibilities will include producing and maintaining security documentation such as Security Architecture Documents, Risk Assessments, and Management Plans. You will lead secure design reviews and contribute to engineering assurance gates while liaising with MOD, NCSC, and other stakeholders to support security assurance processes. Collaborating with engineering and development teams to embed security from the outset will also be part of your duties, as well as staying abreast of evolving threat landscapes and proposing effective mitigation strategies.
