Core tasks
Under close guidance and in consultation with the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and the Information Security Management Team (ISMT) at GIZ’s head office in Germany, you coordinate the local establishment of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) in GIZ Jordan. The Information Security Officer thus acts as the local representative i.e., the single Point of Contact (SPoC) for the ISMS and information security topics. In consultation with the responsible stakeholders at head office and GIZ Jordan, you assume tasks related to the local planning, steering, implementing, monitoring a,nd maintenance of the ISMS project according to ISO27001 standards.
Subsequent to supporting the setting up of the ISMS, the Information Security Officer manages the security incident process, supports/accompanies the audit management process – including the local coordination of “penetration testing” – and ensures that functioning vulnerability management is in place. Through a structural analysis in cooperation with asset owners i.e., asset recording, the Information Security Officer ensures an up-to-date and complete asset inventory and is responsible for recording its information security status. With the involvement of asset owners, the Information Security Officer supports the establishment of a local Information Security Risk Management (IRM) via a risk register for identified risks, mitigation measures, treatment, etc.
After the initial establishment, the Information Security Officer is responsible for reviewing and updating the local information security concept, the coordination and implementation of measures and the communication and implementation of guidelines/concepts as well as the adaptation of guidelines/concepts to local conditions. In conjunction, the Information Security Officer coordinates awareness measures and – to a limited extent, directly assumes responsibility for awareness-raising and training efforts targeting employees.
Guided via head office support, the Information Security Officer assesses the effectiveness of security measures for revisions and audits, ensures the investigation of information security-related incidents, and coordinates their reporting (reporting system). Vis-a-vis the local offices in Jordan, the Information Security Officer advises on information security topics, the operation of risk management and level estimation of information protection requirements. Vis-a-vis the GIZ head office in Germany, the Information Security Officer has the ongoing task of reporting to the CISO/Management Country Office Jordan and supplies necessary information for the management report.
