Information Security Officer

Microsoft, cloud and Infrastructure, some experience, consultant
Hungary

delaware International is growing, and so is our exposure to an evolving landscape of cyber threats and regulatory demands. As our Information Security Officer (ISO), you will be the leader of our operational security, acting as a crucial bridge between the CISO's strategic vision and our technical reality. Your mission is to translate security strategy into tangible, effective protection across our international IT landscape, with an initial focus on our central IT organization."

This is a long-term, internal security position focused on building and maturing our operational security capabilities—not a client-facing consulting role.

You will lead the central Security Operations (SecOps) stream and manage our external Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP). A significant part of our IT landscape is business-led, making your success dependent on influence, trust, and partnership rather than rigid enforcement. This is not a policing role; instead, you are expected to actively embed security into the daily work routines of all IT workstreams, ensuring sustainability and assurance through hands-on leadership and collaboration.

Key responsibilites

  1. ​​Key responsibilites:
  • Security Operations Leadership - Develop and maintain information security processes, standards, and operating procedures (SoPs) derived from global policies, ensuring they are clear, practical, and executable by technical teams.
  • Collaborate with engineers and operational stakeholders to align policy requirements with day-to-day security practices.
  • Lead and mentor the Security Operations (SecOps) stream, building it into a proactive, high-performing unit.
  • Manage and mature our MSSP partnership, ensuring high-quality service delivery, measurable outcomes, and alignment with business needs.
  • Drive process design, implementation, improvements and automation across SecOps domains focusing on vulnerability management, data leakage prevention (DLP), and identity & access management (IAM) to improve our overall security posture.
  • Coordinate the development and maintenance of incident response playbooks and facilitate regular tabletop exercises.

2. Security Implementation & Governance

  • Translate applicable risks, information security policies, and regulatory requirements (Privacy, NIS2, SOC2, DORA where applicable) into an actionable operational roadmap, ensuring alignment with business and technical execution.
  • Drive the implementation and continuous improvement of applicable ISO 27002 controls across IT, extending governance where relevant into business-led IT.
  • Oversee vulnerability management lifecycle (scanning, prioritization, remediation tracking, SLA adherence).
  • Coordinate internal and external audits, ensuring readiness and follow-up on findings.

3. Business Engagement & Risk Alignment

  • Act as a trusted security partner for IT and business-led technology teams across delaware’s entities, including Application and Development teams.
  • Build strong stakeholder relationships, guiding the adoption of secure practices through influence and collaboration.
  • Actively participate in governance forums such as the Change Advisory Board (CAB) and Architecture Board to provide security input.
  • Ensure that resilience and disaster recovery requirements are integrated into IT operational processes.

4. Reporting & Metrics

  • Track operational security KPIs (e.g., MTTD, MTTR, patch compliance SLAs, vulnerability backlog, security debt reduction).
  • Provide regular executive reporting on risk exposure, major incidents, and security posture trends to the IT Management, CIO and CISO.
  • Continuously evaluate the security tooling landscape (SIEM, SOAR, EDR, PAM, IAM, etc.) for operational efficiency and value; proposing technical solution designs and recommendations for improvements to IT management.

Key Interfaces

The ISO role is highly collaborative, working within a globally distributed IT team (Brazil, Belgium, Hungary, Philippines) and interacting closely with:

  • CISO – Alignment on strategy, policy, and risk; receiving strategic direction.
  • CIO & IT Manager – integration of security into IT operations and overall IT strategy.
  • External MSSP Partner – service delivery, performance management, escalation handling.
  • IT Infrastructure, Network, and Digital Workplace Teams – secure operations, patching, IAM, access governance.
  • Application & Development Teams: Improving security in the software development lifecycle.
