Security at Kaluza isn't a silo — you'll work closely with colleagues across security engineering, identity and access management, platform engineering and enterprise technical services. As the Security GRC Lead, you will serve as the accountable operational owner for Kaluza’s Security Governance, Risk, and Compliance capability. You will establish and maintain a unified Common Control Framework, lead regulatory and framework readiness (including SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 22301), and work with engineering teams to demonstrate effective implementation of controls. A core focus of this role is acting as the primary information security bridge to Kaluza’s central Risk & Compliance team. You will closely collaborate with them to assess the impact of evolving security and privacy regulations, ensuring regulatory risks are clearly quantified, actionable, and seamlessly integrated into the wider enterprise risk framework. What you will be doing • Regulatory Impact & Horizon Scanning: Collaborate closely with the Risk & Compliance team to monitor, evaluate, and interpret emerging regulatory changes in the information security, privacy, and critical infrastructure domains. • Security Impact Assessments: Translate complex regulatory developments into actionable security control requirements and risk assessments for Kaluza, specifically covering: • Sector & Critical Infrastructure Regulations: NIS2, AESCSF, NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), and the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill. • Emerging Tech & Governance Standards: AI management and governance expectations (ISO 42001). • Enterprise Risk Integration: Partner with Risk & Compliance to ensure security and resilience risks, control gaps, and regulatory exposures seamlessly flow into and align with the enterprise risk management (ERM) framework. Maintain high data accuracy across the security risk register to support board-level visibility. • Common Control Framework: Design, build, and maintain a single Common Control Framework (anchored initially on ISO 27001 Annex A) mapped across all regulatory, framework, and client contractual requirements. • Standards & Policy Suite: Help continuously improve Kaluza's security policy and standards library. • Continuous Control Monitoring: Shift Kaluza from point-in-time evidence gathering to automated control monitoring using commercial GRC platforms (e.g., Vanta), making audit readiness a natural byproduct of daily operations. • SOC 2 Type 2 Programme: Lead the gap assessment, control build-out, and sustained observation period required for K
