Description
The Department of Parliamentary Services (DPS) is recruiting for an Assistant Director - Cyber Risk and Assurance vacancy within the Governance, Risk and Compliance Section, Cyber Security Branch.
The Parliament of Australia is the legislative branch of the government of Australia. DPS Information Services Division is responsible for the effective and secure operation of Parliament House's state-of-the-art digital network and computing environment, which underpins the operation of the Australian Parliament.
In support of the Australian Parliament, we regularly defend against, and prepare for, a range of cyber threats; including hacktivism, cybercrimes, cyber-attacks, cyber espionage and cyber warfare. To bolster our cyber capability we are seeking talented and motivated individuals to join our growing team to protect this critical national institution. As a member of a small team, you will work to uphold the integrity of Parliament House's digital network and computing environment, and collaborate with a range of domestic cyber agencies as well as international partners representing the parliaments of the Five-Eyes intelligence alliance, which comprise Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
The successful applicant will have extensive experience in ICT Risk Management practices and the conduct of certification and accreditation processes in support of the Protective Security Policy Framework. You will also assist the Director, ICT Governance, Risk and Compliance (the DPS ITSA) to develop security assessment reports (otherwise referred to as Certification Reports) to assist in the secure on-boarding of ICT systems for DPS.
The ideal candidate will have an understanding of cyber security and risk management in a federal government agency and will have a demonstrated ability to develop and conduct certification and accreditation of ICT systems. The position will require communication and collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively with members of multi-disciplinary teams.
If you believe that you are a good fit for DPS, what we are looking for, and have the requisite skills, talent and aptitude to play a part in designing and delivering solutions to help in defending our national democracy against current and future cyber threats, we welcome an application from you.
