Compliance And Monitoring Analyst

Description:

Compliance and Monitoring Analyst (Infrastructure Security) 

Location: Glasgow – hybrid working (2-3 days in the office)

Permanent, Full Time

Help us create a better future, quicker

We are seeking an experienced Compliance and Monitoring Analyst to support the design, implementation and ongoing assurance of infrastructure security controls across critical technology platforms and services. This role plays a key part in ensuring that security controls operate effectively, align with secure by design principles, and meet both regulatory and internal assurance requirements within a regulated environment.

What you’ll be doing

You will work closely with teams across Cyber Security, Infrastructure, Platforms, Operations and Cloud to help embed security controls into technology solutions. Through continuous monitoring, evidence gathering and reporting, you will provide clear assurance that infrastructure environments remain compliant and resilient.

The role involves supporting the implementation and assurance of security controls across both on‑premise and cloud environments. You will review designs and technology changes against secure by design principles, assess control coverage, and validate that security requirements are correctly implemented and maintained. Working alongside security architects and infrastructure teams, you will contribute to initiatives from early discovery through to live service, ensuring that security and compliance considerations are built in from the outset and translated into practical, operable controls.

You will carry out control assessments, risk reviews and gap analysis against recognised frameworks and internal standards, supporting remediation where improvements are needed. This includes tracking issues, working with action owners, and providing confidence that controls have been effectively implemented. You will also contribute to the development and maintenance of infrastructure security documentation, including standards, procedures, control descriptions and audit-ready evidence packs.

Alongside project activity, you will support ongoing monitoring and assurance across infrastructure platforms such as networks, servers, endpoints and cloud services. This includes reviewing security metrics, control effectiveness indicators and exception reports, as well as supporting vulnerability management, configuration compliance activities, and post-incident reviews from a control and compliance perspective. You will assist with internal and external audits, regulatory reviews and risk assessments by preparing evidence, responding to queries and supporting control walkthroughs.

What you’ll bring

The role offers the opportunity to work collaboratively with UK and global stakeholders to promote consistent application of infrastructure security controls and to contribute to continual improvement of assurance processes. You will further develop your expertise in infrastructure security, risk management and compliance within a complex enterprise environment, while strengthening stakeholder engagement skills and contributing to knowledge sharing across security and technology teams.

We are looking for someone with experience in a security compliance, assurance or monitoring role within a regulated industry, and a strong understanding of infrastructure security controls and secure by design principles. You will be comfortable working with technical teams, able to interpret infrastructure designs and configurations, and confident translating these into clear risk and compliance insights for both technical and non-technical audiences. Experience working within project environments, including Agile or hybrid delivery models, is desirable.

What’s in it for you 

As well as a competitive salary which is reviewed annually, you can also enjoy a number of other benefits. With our pension scheme, we’ll double match your contribution up to a company contribution of 10%.
