Work with the Group wide Security Improvement Programme to ensure Group Functions services align with current Security requirements.

For gaps identify the related risks and potential options for management - articulate options to system or business owners.
3. Security Advice and Guidance - Be a source of expert Information Security advice, both to projects (i.e. consulting with architects or developers) and in an ad-hoc manner (responding to user queries) working closely with key stakeholders and business leaders to ensure security issues are understood and reviewing existing systems and services to prioritise security improvement activities.
4 Security Advocacy - Represent the Group Functions Security team to senior business stakeholders. Identify areas where the Security team, and wider IT team, can add additional benefit and support business ambitions
5 Security Representation - Represent the Group Functions IT team in interactions with the wider L&G Group and Security Improvement project, such as sitting on Steering Groups or Customer Engagement Workshops and ensure Group Functions interests are input and requests for input are passed to the correct teams
6. Security Maturity - Actively work to improve the Group Functions IT Security Maturity and Capability. Suggest enhancements to processes, update or establish procedures where required.
7. Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) - Ensure that all customers/stakeholders are treated fairly in line with Legal & General's principles on Customer Experience, Employee Engagement, Continuous Improvement and TCF policy.

Qualifications-
Appropriate security qualifications and memberships (e.g. CISSP, etc.) are desirable, but not essential or demonstrable equivalent experience.

Knowledge-
Information Security broadly, knowledge of Access Control security, transportation security, secure architecture principles, cryptography and operational controls (such as back-ups, resilient design, anti-virus) are essential
