The posting
Governance, risk and regulatory obligations
- Turn the Group's cyber and technology risk strategy into a practical roadmap, policies and standards, built on a control framework aligned to ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 22301 and NIST CSF 2.0.
- Lead risk assessments across shore, vessel, cloud and OT environments; maintain the risk register and report clear KRI/KPI dashboards to senior management.
- Maintain an obligations register covering maritime cyber requirements, client commitments and the regulations applying across our operating jurisdictions, such as Hong Kong PDPO, Singapore PDPA and NIS2.
- Partner with QHSE, Fleet and Vessel IT to embed cybersecurity into the safety management system and strengthen vessel assurance.
- Run a risk-based third-party programme with Legal and Privacy, from due diligence and contract controls through to monitoring and exit.
Certification, audits and assurance
- Keep the organisation continuously certification-ready, rather than preparing for each audit in isolation.
- Coordinate internal, external, certification and client audits end to end, from scope and evidence through to management reporting.
- Handle security questionnaires, tenders and due diligence from clients and shipowners, and track corrective actions through to closure.
Technology, security-by-design and resilience
- Work hands-on with Infrastructure & Operations on the security of the underlying estate — network segmentation and perimeter controls, Windows Server and Active Directory hardening including Group Policy baselines, endpoint configuration, patch and vulnerability management, and privileged access
- Partner with Development and Digitalisation on security-by-design and DevSecOps across cloud, applications and data.
- Assess AI tools and use cases for data exposure, access and model risk, and set proportionate guardrails drawing on references such as the NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001.
- Lead crisis management, business continuity and disaster recovery exercises, and automate control monitoring where you can.
Leadership and stakeholder partnership
- Lead and develop the GRC team, and coordinate control owners across offices and vessels.
- Work with our shore and maritime training organizations to build cybersecurity and AI-risk content into training for seafarers and shore staff.
- Act as a trusted partner across IT, QHSE, Fleet, Legal and the business, translating technical and regulatory risk into clear options for senior leaders, clients and auditors
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in information security, Computer Science, Engineering, Risk Management or a related discipline; equivalent professional experience will be considered.
- CISM, CRISC, CISA, CISSP, ISO/IEC 27001 or ISO 22301 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor, or an equivalent GRC qualification, is strongly preferred.
- Approximately 8-12 years of experience in cybersecurity GRC, information security governance, technology risk, IT audit or security assurance, including leadership responsibility.
- Hands-on experience with ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 22301, NIST CSF or a comparable framework, including audits, control assessment, evidence and remediation.
- Strong understanding of risk registers, control design and testing, exceptions, risk acceptance, KRIs/KPIs and executive reporting.
- Broad technical grounding across infrastructure and operations — networks, Windows and Active Directory and endpoints — as well as cloud, identity and security operations.
- Experience supporting clients, external auditors, regulators or industry bodies in a complex, global or operationally intensive organisation.
- Exposure to AI risk management or enterprise AI governance; maritime cybersecurity or OT experience is advantageous but not essential.
- Strong written and spoken English. Cantonese and/or Mandarin is advantageous.
- Pragmatic, engineering-informed builder who creates governance that works in real operations and can follow a control from policy through to implementation, evidence and outcome.
- Structured, risk-based decision-maker who remains calm and accountable under pressure.
- Clear communicator who can write concise policies, audit responses and executive updates without unnecessary jargon.
- Genuinely curious and self-driven — owns their development and keeps looking for better ways to do things, including responsible use of AI.
