Information & Security Officer

An information & Security officer at Hunt & Hackett is not a human checkbox or the person who only appears when an audit starts. You help keep our ISMS in shape and both our feet in reality. This means clear policies, sensible controls, risks with owners and actions that actually get closed. You work alongside colleagues from security operations, incident response, developers and the wider business. We are not trying to build a utopian security world where budgets are unlimited, systems never change and users never make mistakes. That world does not exist. A control is only useful if it works on a calm Tuesday and at 02:00 during an incident. We don’t expect you to know every clause by heart. We do expect you to ask good questions, follow through and learn quickly. Your responsibilities include:

• [Make security understandable]: give colleagues pragmatic advice, contribute to security awareness and translate requirements into language people can use. ‘Because ISO says so’ is not considered a complete explanation., + A monthly salary of course;
• The opportunity to safeguard Europe’s leading organizations;
• A unique culture of ‘responsible rebellion’ where you can learn from the best to get the most out of yourself;
• The most innovative approach to get the job done;
• Being part of a winning team, with room for fun, learning and developing yourself;
• A proper laptop to get the job done;
• A modern pension, which is transparent and can be controlled by yourself;
• Employee share participation scheme;
• Compensation for your travel costs
• Daily lunch is in us; we prepare and enjoy it as a team

A culture of ‘responsible rebellion’

Only (very) talented, multidisciplinary teams of threat hunters, intelligence analysts, reverse engineers, data scientists, developers and hackers are able to outsmart the increasingly professional community of cyber attackers. We pride ourselves as a force for the good and as such we think and act as responsible rebels. We are not ‘just another security company’, and our people are not ‘just employees’. Everyone at Hunt & Hackett wants to be the best in their field and focuses at delivering next-gen levels of service. This means that we live by: *

• Security first: a foundational core value that underscores our company’s unwavering commitment to prioritizing security in all aspects of our operations.
• Pushing the envelope: Everyone at our teams takes the responsibility to make our work better every day, by being creative to color outside of the lines if needed.
• Everything is important: Tiny details have a huge impact, especially in security. We are system thinkers that oversee the big picture and who are simultaneously obsessive about details. That’s why we champion tradecraft.
• Perseverance: To become successful, you will have to endure challenges, errors, failures and obstacles along the way. These may take weeks, months, or years to overcome.
• Ego is the enemy: Ego ultimately prevents us from learning, holds us back and makes us overreach. It is therefore important to battle that inner force that destroys great empire’s, companies, careers and tears apart relationships.

• [Technical curiosity]: you don’t need to be the person popping shells or carrying the pager today, but you should understand what happens on the other side of a policy. You are comfortable asking technical colleagues how something really works and curious enough to keep asking when the first answer is ‘it depends’.

Hunt & Hackett helps European companies prevent, detect and respond to today’s most advanced adversaries, safeguarding them against cyberthreats such as espionage. We don’t just stir a bit into security strategies; our talented team of responsible rebels shakes them up to build, operate and maintain digital immune systems for our customers to outsmart their digital adversaries.

To extend our multidisciplinary team, we are now hiring a Information & Security Officer. Do you enjoy turning ISO 27001 requirements into controls people can actually work with? Does a clean risk register give you the same quiet satisfaction others get from inbox zero? Can you challenge an engineer, an analyst and a member of management without becoming the compliance police? And have you spent enough time in or around SOC operations, red teaming, penetration testing, incident response or fast-moving development teams to know that a control can be compliant on paper and useless in production? Then Hunt & Hackett might be the best next step in your career.
