  • Information Security Frameworks: In-depth knowledge of various information security frameworks such as CIS, NIST, PCI DSS, and national frameworks.
  • Legal Requirements for Information Security: Familiarity with legal and regulatory requirements related to information security, such as NIS, GDPR, and other national legislation.
  • Risk Assessment and Threat Modelling: Conducting risk assessments to identify and evaluate potential threats and vulnerabilities, and developing threat models to understand and mitigate risks.
  • Cyber Maturity Assessment and IT Audit: Assessing an organization's cybersecurity maturity level and conducting IT audits to evaluate the effectiveness of security controls and identify areas for improvement.
  • Governance, Risk, and Compliance: Establishing and maintaining GRC programs to ensure that security practices align with business objectives and regulatory requirements.
• Proficiency in Finnish and English
• Being an awesome colleague!

Bonus points for:

• Recognized certifications in risk, security, and privacy management, IT management, and project management, such as CISSP, CISM, ISO27001, and CISA
• Experience with agile process models and various software development lifecycles
• Technical architecture skills, including cloud architecture
• Ability to collaborate effectively with roles in software development, such as technical architects, software developers, and product managers, on their terms

Why you'll love us:

• Continuous learning: We invest in your education and support your development through relevant training, conferences, and certifications. You'll also have opportunities to learn on the job and from your colleagues. We arrange monthly knowledge-sharing sessions for the whole team to ensure you benefit from our in-house expertise (and can spread your wisdom, too).
• Research time: If you're passionate about security research, you'll have dedicated time to pursue it and collaborate with brilliant minds. We'll support you in writing blog posts and presenting at conferences. Our team has presented at notable events like Defcon and Disobey, among others.
