Our world-leading Time & Frequency department seek an experienced and practicing Security Advisor with prior experience in physical, procedural, and personnel security implementation.
You will be joining our team at an exciting time - we maintain the UK’s National Time Scale, UTC (NPL), and are currently developing a new resilient Time Scale facility that will underpin our digital infrastructure. This will address the risks associated with our dependency on global navigation satellite systems (such as GPS) that are vulnerable to both natural and intentional interference.
As Security Advisor, you’ll enjoy working alongside prominent Scientists, Engineers and Security Professionals to support the implementation of security mitigations and controls across the physical, procedural, and personnel security domains.
Key responsibilities:
* Assist in conducting (or conduct in solitude) security risk assessments, protective security audits, and physical security requirements.
* Support the development and maintenance of security policies, procedures and standards.
* Conduct or support security investigations; including root cause analysis, where required.

* Contribute to security awareness training and internal communications campaigns.
* Support third party risk management and the assured supply chain by assisting in reviewing supplier security documentation.
* Provide pragmatic and appropriate guidance across the Organisation on security requirements, procedures, processes and legislation.
* Assist in effecting a security culture change, utilising clear and robust security policies and processes to ensure NPL clearly manages all security aspects.
* Assist in developing strategic plans to address any gaps in security performance considering new threats and developing capabilities for new technologies.
* Stay informed on emerging security threats and trends to support proactive defence strategies.
