직무 소개
At William Grant & Sons, Operational Technology underpins our manufacturing and supply chain excellent. As an Information Security Specialist focusing on OT, you will play a pivotal role in securing our distilleries, manufacturing sites, SCADA/ICS/IIoT environments, and related supply chains. You’ll partner with site leaders, IT and OT teams, and cross functional stakeholders to embed robust security practices across OT systems, ensuring the resilience and integrity of our operational footprint while supporting innovation and efficiency.
주요 업무
As an Information Security Specialist (OT), you will lead security assessments across manufacturing sites and distilleries with a strong focus on SCADA, ICS, and IIoT systems, identifying potential vulnerabilities and driving remediation efforts.
You’ll be responsible for building a robust Information Security Management System (ISMS) from the ground up, aligning it with IEC 62443 standards. This role involves close collaboration with site leaders, OT engineers, and IT teams to ensure compliance with key OT security frameworks such as IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and NIS2, while embedding governance and fostering continuous improvement within OT environments.
You will manage third-party OT risks by conducting Vendor Security Assurance Questionnaires (VSAQs) and performing detailed security reviews to verify that external partners align with WG&S’s expectations. Additionally, you’ll assist in developing and evolving the OT governance roadmap in line with industry best practices and the organisation’s risk appetite.
Part of your responsibility will be to monitor and advise on the convergence of physical and cyber threats at manufacturing and distillery locations, working in tandem with physical security and facilities teams to manage blended risks. You’ll provide guidance during OT-related security incidents, supporting with triage, containment, and post-incident analysis to reduce operational disruption.
Moreover, you’ll assist the Information Security Leader with internal and external investigations related to Operational Technology, contributing technical expertise, evidence gathering, and remediation recommendations. Finally, your role will include addressing Information Security tickets in Assyst that pertain to OT, ensuring issues are resolved promptly and thoroughly tracked.
