About Northwave

From our head office in Utrecht, we have been providing 24*7 cybersecurity services for over 18 years. We not only look at the technology, but also at human behavior within the organization and thus provide integrated security services. Organizations that take their cyber security seriously are therefore happy to work with us. We take the complexity of security management off their hands, the control remains with them.

We are a fast-growing organization of 250+ employees, which is the market leader in the field of information security. Our 100% self-financed European company has the mission to make high-quality integrated information security accessible to organizations that depend on their digital business. Northwave stands for diversity, inclusivity, quality and long-term relationships.

What you do

You are responsible for implementing and executing risk-based security management. As a Security Officer, you work for multiple clients simultaneously. With your insight in mitigating specific risks at the client, you ensure adequate security management.

In your role, you ensure that security management is safeguarded in a continuous cycle for your customers. You understand their biggest threats and draw up a security management plan to limit these risks. That is why you use a holistic approach and know when the customer needs technical or behavioral measures in addition to their business-related measures. You work closely with our other cybersecurity teams. The customer can focus on their core business through your guidance to the right actions in the field of security management.

The team

The Security and Privacy Office (SPO) is part of our Managed Security Services department. You will join a team of enthusiastic Security Officers/CISOs who are primarily responsible for optimal service provision and customer cooperation. You work closely with other teams within the same domain (Privacy; information security project team) and with team members from other domains within Northwave.

You won't be doing this alone. Our Security & Privacy office consists of various support lines. The first line of support is there to answer all incoming questions. The second line acts at a tactical level and the third line is the strategic partner for the organization. Together you ensure that the customer can focus on what is important: their primary business. You report to our Manager Security and Privacy Office.
