Technology Control Frameworks Lead

Responsibilities

• Design and develop the Technology Control Framework: Create a single, coherent and practical set of technology, cyber security and IT controls, with clear control objectives and measurable requirements that can be consistently understood and applied across the client.
• Consolidate frameworks, standards and regulatory requirements: Analyse and rationalise ISO/IEC 27001:2022, NIST SP 800-53, NIST CSF, Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), Cyber Essentials Plus and applicable legal/regulatory obligations, identifying overlaps, duplication, conflicts and gaps to produce an integrated control set.
• Establish control mapping, traceability and applicability: Map each control to its originating framework, standard and regulatory requirements, maintaining traceability to demonstrate coverage and identify gaps, while defining applicability across relevant technologies, services, processes and information asset types.
• Define control governance and assessment: Establish control ownership and accountability with Technology, Security, Risk and First Line stakeholders, alongside maturity and assessment criteria that enable consistent measurement of control implementation and effectiveness. Engage SMEs and control owners to ensure controls are technically appropriate, practical and accurately reflect how technology risks are managed across the client.
• Develop the implementation and embedding plan: Define how the Control Framework will be rolled out and adopted across client teams, including implementation sequencing and dependencies, stakeholder engagement, communications, control-owner onboarding and the ongoing governance required to embed the framework into business-as-usual activities.
