IT Security Analyst 

Role description:

Supports the enterprise-wide implementation of the Secrets & Credential Management project by analysing current-state processes, identifying security and control gaps, defining requirements, and driving the secure governance of technical and workforce secrets. Ensures that secrets such as passwords, SSH keys, API keys, certificates, tokens and non-personal credentials are identified, classified, documented, and prepared for controlled lifecycle management in line with security, compliance, and operational requirements.

Tasks & Responsibilities:

• Conduct end-to-end analysis of existing secret and credential management practices across applications, infrastructure, platforms, and operational processes.
• Identify, classify and document technical and workforce secrets, including ownership, usage, storage location, criticality, lifecycle stage, access model, and associated risks.
• Assess current-state control weaknesses such as unmanaged SSH keys, hardcoded credentials, shared accounts, undocumented secret usage, insufficient rotation, and weak auditability.
• Define and document detailed functional and non-functional requirements for centralized secrets management capabilities.
• Support the design of compliant lifecycle processes for creation, storage, access, usage, rotation, revocation, emergency access and decommissioning of secrets.
• Analyse dependencies across systems, applications, service accounts, technical users, and operational teams to support onboarding and migration planning.
• Prepare clear and defensible security analysis deliverables, including gap assessments, process documentation, risk assessments, control requirements, and remediation recommendations.
• Facilitate and document workshops with technical, operational, and business stakeholders to gather requirements, validate findings and resolve ambiguities.
• Contribute to tool evaluation activities by translating operational and security needs into concrete assessment criteria and use cases.
• Validate whether proposed solution approaches meet defined security, compliance, and operational expectations.
• Support reporting and governance activities by maintaining traceability of findings, risks, requirements, remediation items, and implementation dependencies.
• Ensure analysis outputs are audit-ready, internally consistent, and suitable for decision-making at project and stakeholder governance level.
