Why This Role Matters

Assure, Strengthen, Enable, Protect.

As a Security Assurance Engineer, you play a key role in ensuring that cybersecurity controls are effectively designed, correctly implemented, and operating as intended across the organisation’s technology environment.

The role provides hands-on technical assurance by performing deep security reviews, driving control uplift initiatives, and translating governance and policy requirements into practical, enforceable technical controls.

This position plays a critical role in strengthening security posture, improving audit readiness, and reducing risk by bridging the gap between security intent and real-world implementation, with a strong focus on cloud, identity, data protection, and emerging technologies.

What You’ll Do

• Delivery Technical Security Assurance: Conduct deep security reviews across cloud, identity, data protection, monitoring, and network controls.
• Strengthen Cloud Security Posture: Identify gaps and uplift security controls across cloud platforms and services.
• Validate Control Effectiveness: Perform manual and automated assurance testing to ensure controls operate as designed.
• Translate Policy into Practice: Convert security and governance requirements into practical, enforceable technical controls — including Policy as Code.
• Support Audit & Compliance: Develop automated mechanisms for evidence collection and support internal and external audits.
• Drive Continuous Improvement: Enhance security assurance, business continuity, and risk management processes through automation and innovation.
• Advise & Enable the Business: Act as a trusted subject‑matter expert supporting regional teams and third‑party security assessments.
• Report with Impact: Develop meaningful, automated security reporting for executive and business stakeholders.

What You Bring

• A solid understanding of IT governance and controls.
• Strong experience with Microsoft cloud security platforms.
• In‑depth knowledge of cloud security principles, including identity, access management, monitoring, logging, and data protection.
• Experience translating security policies into policy‑as‑code (e.g. Terraform or similar).
• Practical experience developing, testing, and validating IT security controls.
• Capability in scripting, automation, and API consumption.
• Confidence producing clear, data‑driven security reports for stakeholders.
• Strong analytical thinking, documentation, and communication skills.

Nice to have:

• Experience with Microsoft Entra ID (Conditional Access, MFA, PIM).
• Experience with Microsoft Purview (DLP, Information Protection, Retention).
• Familiarity with Microsoft Defender for Cloud and security posture management.
• Knowledge of industry frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, CIS Benchmarks, or Essential Eight.
• Exposure to AI / LLMs and modern automation concepts.
• Security certifications such as CISA, CISSP, CISM, or CRISC.
