ICT Governance & Assurance - Defence Environment - 6 Month contract +

Overview

We are seeking a hands-on ICT Governance & Assurance Officer to support the uplift, maintenance, and submission of Defence security governance and accreditation documentation across secure ICT environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, maintain, and uplift ICT governance, cyber security, and accreditation documentation for Defence environments
• Prepare and support submission of governance and assurance artefacts for Defence DCAB, IRAP, DISP, and accreditation activities
• Produce and maintain:
• System Security Plans (SSP)
• Security Risk Management Plans (SRMP)
• ISM compliance mappings
• DSPF / PSPF aligned artefacts
• Risk registers and treatment plans
• Standard operating procedures and security procedures
• Change and configuration governance documentation
• Work with technical SMEs to gather evidence and validate implementation of security controls
• Support Essential Eight uplift and evidence collection activities
• Assist with remediation tracking, POAM management, and audit findings closure
• Coordinate with Defence stakeholders, IRAP assessors, security teams, and vendor partners during assurance activities
• Support ICT security accreditation and re-accreditation activities across Defence systems
• Maintain governance repositories and configuration-controlled documentation sets
• Assist with continuous improvement of ICT governance and assurance processes

All applications should include your resume as a word document.
