Job description

Information Technology (IT) systems are at the heart of modern business operations. As organizations increasingly rely on complex IT infrastructure, cloud environments, and digital transformation initiatives, the need for robust IT controls, governance, and independent assurance has never been more critical. With evolving regulatory requirements, emerging cyber threats, and the rapid adoption of new technologies, companies must ensure their IT controls are effective, compliant, and aligned with business objectives. For example: Are IT access controls properly configured to prevent unauthorized system access? Is the organization’s data adequately protected in line with ISO 27001 standards? Are IT processes resilient enough to support business continuity? These, and many more critical questions make IT controls and governance a multi-faceted discipline that addresses the optimal governance, security, and operational effectiveness of IT systems by aligning policy and governance with technology, data, security, and compliance. Deloitte’s IT Controls & Governance and IT Assurance team is at the forefront of this rapidly evolving landscape. We are a multi-disciplinary team of specialists with expertise in IT controls assessment, risk management, information security, regulatory compliance, and independent assurance. We work with organizations across industries to help them build trust and confidence in their IT systems and controls. Our team provides independent external assurance on IT governance, security, and operational effectiveness, ensuring organizations meet regulatory requirements and industry standards such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
