Securitas vision is to become the Intelligent Protective Services Partner through being client centric, data driven, and people focused. Our protective services help make your world a safer place.

At Securitas, Digital Security (Cyber Security) is focused on protecting our systems, applications, data, and services while enabling secure and reliable business operations.

We ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information across all countries, with a strong emphasis on technical controls, application security, risk-based decision-making, and operational execution.

All countries within our scope are either certified against ISO/IEC 27001 or actively implementing it, ensuring a consistent and structured approach to information security management across the organisation.

Our approach focuses on:

• Resilience – maintaining service availability during and after incidents

• Control – continuous visibility and management of the security posture across infrastructure and applications

• Trust – delivering secure, reliable, and compliant services

• Alignment – integrating security into business, IT, and application development processes

• Integration – embedding security into platforms, infrastructure, and applications by design
  

In practice, this includes:

• Implementing and maintaining core security controls (IAM, endpoint protection, logging/monitoring, vulnerability and patch management, and application security controls)

• Establishing clear governance, accountability, and control frameworks across infrastructure and applications

• Ensuring security is integrated into projects, application lifecycle (SDLC), infrastructure, and supplier lifecycle

• Maintaining continuous monitoring and visibility of threats, vulnerabilities, and control effectiveness across systems and applications

• Identifying and protecting critical assets, business-critical services, and key applications

Your Role – Cluster Digital Security Officer (Cluster North)

As a Cluster Digital Security Officer, you will support the technical execution, coordination, and oversight of Digital Security across Cluster North (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, the UK, and Ireland), while also contributing to Group/ Division-level security priorities.

This is a hands-on, operational role, delivered as part of a wider Digital Security organization. You will work closely with different Division/Group IT teams, Digital Security Operations, Digital Security, and Country IT teams, operating in a collaborative, multi-country and multi-layer (Cluster–Division–Group) environment.

Key Responsibilities

Security Coordination & Team Collaboration (Cluster & Division)

• Coordinate Digital Security activities across the Cluster and support execution of the security roadmap aligned with Division priorities, including application security initiatives

• Ensure consistent implementation of security controls, baselines, and services across infrastructure and applications

• Work closely with GITS, Application teams, Domain and other IT teams to ensure alignment and effective execution

• Contribute actively to the Digital Security community, including sharing practices related to application and platform security

• Provide regular, transparent, and data-driven reporting on risk posture, control effectiveness, and remediation progress

Technical Security Oversight (Infrastructure & Applications)

• Monitor and assess the security posture of platforms, infrastructure, and applications (on-prem and cloud)

• Oversee key control areas including vulnerability management, patching, identity and access management, endpoint security, and application security

• Support secure practices across the application lifecycle (SDLC), including awareness of secure design and common vulnerabilities (e.g. OWASP Top 10)

• Ensure effective logging, monitoring, and incident detection capabilities are in place across infrastructure and applications

• Track and assess third-party and supplier risks, including risks related to applications and integrations

Risk, Compliance & Assurance

• Identify and track gaps against security policies, standards, and mandates, including application security requirements

• Support/execute risk assessments, internal and external audits, and customer assurance activities across Cluster environments

• Drive and follow up on risk remediation plans, ensuring clear ownership and execution across technical teams

Securitas Alarm Monitoring Centers (SOC) Security

In addition to Cluster responsibilities, you will contribute to Division-level security of Securitas Alarm Monitoring Centers (SOCs) supporting the Domain Digital Security Officer SOC and RVS, which are among the most critical environments within Securitas.

This includes:

• Supporting and overseeing the security posture of SOC environments, including underlying infrastructure and supporting applications

• Ensuring implementation of enhanced technical controls (e.g. network segmentation, strong access control, privileged access management, monitoring, and secure application access)

• Monitoring the availability, integrity, and protection of SOC systems, applications, and data flows

• Supporting incident detection, response readiness, and recovery capabilities for SOC-related platforms and applications

• Working closely with Infrastructure, Application, SOC and other IT teams to reduce attack surface and strengthen resilience of SOC environments
