Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden Northwave Full time
About Northwave

We are a leading European Cyber Security specialist, providing 24*7 cyber security services for over 17 years. Our approach is holistic, taking into account both technology and human behavior within an organization. We offer integral security services, making us a preferred partner for organizations that prioritize their cyber security.

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 integral information security accessible to organizations that depend on their digital business. Northwave stands for diversity, inclusivity, quality, and long-term relationships.

What You'll Do

As a Business Security Specialist, you will advise clients on the most suitable and cost-effective measures for security risks. You will bridge the gap between security and the business of the organization, making the client aware of their governance responsibility and providing insight into the current situation. You will present your advice to the board of the organization and lead to concrete decision-making and implementation of possible improvements.

The projects you will work on are diverse and relate to topics such as security management (ISO 27001), risk management, compliance with standards and frameworks (NIST, DNB Good Practice), or cyber security legislation (NIS2, DORA). Your role can vary from conducting an assessment, managing and contributing to an implementation, or an advisory role. Within these projects, we regularly collaborate with experts from other teams within Northwave.

In addition to your advisory function to organizations, you will ensure that the client acts on the given advice. You will play a crucial role in identifying potential consultancy opportunities for Northwave. Always from a consultative selling mindset, where the added value for the client comes first. The clients you will work with vary in size from medium-large to large international companies, in various sectors. They are mainly located in the Netherlands, but also some in Belgium, Germany, or have various locations worldwide.

The Team

As a Business Security Specialist, you will be part of the Risk Advisory team. As a team, we always strive for a high-quality but pragmatic approach, where the advice is implemented in a workable solution. We avoid long and bureaucratic documentation and focus on achieving the best and most pragmatic result possible. The team consists of 15+ Business Security Specialists, each with their own expertise. In addition, we work closely with the other teams within Northwave and always strive for an integrated approach. We have a strong ambition in the Risk Advisory domain, also internationally. This requires growth in expertise, seniority, and further professionalization of the team.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone with a real passion for the profession. A 'vakidioot' as we call it within Northwave, with an 'expert leadership' influence on the team. You should have:

  • Expertise in security management, risk management, relevant standards, and legislation.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset and no problem working independently.
  • Proficiency in Dutch and English, both spoken and written.
  • CISM/CISSP/CISA/CRISK/CIPM or related certifications are a plus, but not necessary.
What You Can Expect

We offer a market-based salary, depending on your knowledge and experience, ranging between €5,000 and €8,000 per month. You will also receive company-wide courses and individual training opportunities to further develop yourself. You will work with more than 250 passionate colleagues to learn from and grow with. We also offer fun Northwave events and parties.
