What does this job entail?

Information security is always challenging. In the financial sector, the many regulations related to this make our work at KBC particularly interesting. We need to show that we follow all rules that are essential for a secure IT environment. That is the focus of your team: the Design & Support team for Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC).

As our Information Security Officer, you give advice—based on your expertise—to Process Owners and Application Owners, the management team and business stakeholders. In doing so, you improve information risk management.
 

What do we expect from you?

• You improve the design and/or implementation of GRC processes in IT.
• You develop policy guidelines and standards related to Information Technology & Security, making sure they translate into practice. You always make sure there is a balance between the risk and the cost of implementation.
• You keep an eye out for changes in legislation and regulations. You keep the policy guidelines and standards up to date and relevant.
• You set and implement relevant measuring points. On this basis, you report regularly on the effectiveness of everything done in relation to governance and compliance.
• You make clear agreements with colleagues, ensuring risks are always detected punctually and all rules are followed to the letter. In other words, you work together to ensure compliance with regulatory demands and internal policy guidelines and standards.

Profile

• You have a master’s degree or the equivalent in relevant work experience, plus one of these certifications: CISSP, CISM, CISA or CRISC.
• You have experience working with frameworks like ISO 27001/27002, NIST or COBIT.
• Your greatest strengths include your ability to analyse. You’re curious by nature and enjoy searching for things.
• Your approach? Proactive.
• You speak and write Dutch and English to an excellent standard.
• You’ll make us take notice if you have experience implementing control frameworks in GRC tooling or making dashboards in QlikView/QlikSense. Experience at a bank or insurance company will also attract our attention.

Proposal

• You’re assured of an excellent onboarding and a pleasant, collegial work atmosphere.
• Throughout your entire career at KBC, we encourage you to grow as a person and as a professional. You can follow training courses in which you further sharpen your hard and soft skills.
• Our offices are easily accessible by public transport. You work one day per week in Leuven, but for the other days, you can choose to work in any main office or from home (up to 50%).
• Hybrid working and flexible work hours help you to balance your work and your private life.
• We offer you a permanent contract and a competitive salary, supplemented by extralegal benefits. Sounds familiar? Of course. It’s what you read in every job description. At KBC, we make a difference with our extended flex package. It’s too extensive to go into details here. However, we will happily discuss the various benefits—large and small—at your interview.
