Data Security Analyst
We are seeking a Data Security Analyst to help protect sensitive information, systems and services across a complex technology environment. The successful candidate will monitor security events, investigate alerts and support the identification, assessment and resolution of potential threats. You will work closely with technology, risk and business teams to strengthen data protection controls and promote secure working practices across the organisation.
Key responsibilities will include analysing security logs and monitoring tools, conducting initial incident triage, escalating suspected breaches and supporting investigations through to resolution. You will assist with vulnerability assessments, access reviews, security testing and risk assessments, ensuring that findings are clearly documented and tracked to completion. The role will also involve maintaining security procedures, contributing to incident response plans, preparing management reports and helping ensure compliance with relevant data protection, information security and regulatory requirements. You may also support the development of data classification, retention and handling standards, as well as delivering guidance and awareness activities to colleagues.
Applicants should have experience in data security, information security, cyber security operations, risk or a related discipline, with a practical understanding of security monitoring, incident management and common security controls. Familiarity with SIEM platforms, endpoint protection, vulnerability management tools, identity and access management, and cloud security concepts would be advantageous. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, together with the ability to interpret technical information, identify patterns and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications are welcomed, although equivalent practical experience will be considered. You should be organised, curious and capable of handling confidential information with discretion while managing multiple priorities in a collaborative environment.
