Required skills:

• University degree and/or relevant experience in information security, IT security, risk management, or related areas.
• Experience in information security governance, preferably including ISO/IEC 27001, NIST 800-171, and/or protective security and COMSEC.

• Experience with security accreditation and secure IT system design.
• Experience from the defense industry, government authorities, or global organizations.
• Experience in quality management and development of security-related processes, methods, and tools.
