Information Security Specialist

My Dutch based client has a requirement for an Information Security Specialist for an initial 6 month contract to the end of June 2013 but with the possibility for further extensions.

The successful applicant will be part of a team providing support and advice on a wide range of technical and non-technical topics related to information security. This is to ensure a protective security framework so that automated systems and information are available and reliable and that access is authorised, controlled and registered.

Applicants will need to demonstrate wide experience of delivering sound information assurance advice in a number of different organisations as well as a deep technical background gained from experience of designing and delivering technical infrastructure and application of extensive knowledge of IT Infrastructure. In addition broad knowledge and hands-on experience of infrastructure technologies through the entire infrastructure stack, including: network, virtualisation, SAN, server OS (Windows, UNIX and Linux), Firewalls, VPN, IDPS, RACF, LDAP and common business technologies (for example, SQL Server, SharePoint) would be highly desirable. Any knowledge and practical experience of security risk assessment following ISO 27005, ISO 27001 & 2 and/or eSABSA standards and methods would also be beneficial.

The business language is English and this is potentially a long term assignment within an excellent working environment.
