We are supporting a global healthcare organisation on a specialist security engagement focused on genomic data. This is a highly sensitive and emerging area of healthcare where existing security standards are not sufficient.
They are seeking a Senior Cyber Security Architect to define the security blueprint for protecting genomic data long-term. This is a design-only role, focused on producing a structured architecture and justification for future implementation.
Key Responsibilities
- Define a target-state security architecture for genomic data
- Develop a domain-level threat model for genomic data and associated risks
- Identify why current security standards are not sufficient for this data type
- Design tokenisation and privacy-preserving security approaches
- Define the operating model (people, process, technology) for secure handling
- Outline monitoring and control requirements
- Produce clear architectural documentation and security guidance
Experience Required
- Senior Cyber Security Architect experience in complex environments
- Background in securing highly sensitive, identity-linked or national-scale datasets
- Experience in government, public sector, healthcare, or similar environments preferred
- Strong ability to define security models from first principles in ambiguous domains
- Experience with threat modelling and security architecture (at a conceptual level)
- Comfortable working closely with senior security leadership rather than broad stakeholder groups
Additional Information
- No implementation or delivery responsibility
- Minimal stakeholder engagement - primarily working with senior security leadership
- Highly specialised, design-focused engagement in a new and emerging domain
