De TU/e is op zoek naar een Cyber Risk Manager. Onderstaande algemene omschrijving en gevraagde
competenties zijn in het Engels geschreven, omdat de voertaal Engels is.
General
The Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is within scope of the NIS2 directive and has strategically
committed to achieving ISO27001 compliance maturity in the coming years. This requires a solid cyber risk
management process that is integrated in the overall risk management capability. At this point in time the
(cyber) risk management capacity is very limited. The transformation required for NIS2 & ISO27001 requires
more capacity & expertise in be ready before July 2028.
TU/e consists of various departments, where education and research are conducted, and a number of
support services. You will be part of the GRC team within Library and Information Services (LIS) organization.
This team will play a prominent role in implementation of cyber risk management, ISO27001 certification &
NIS2 readiness. You report to the GRC manager.
