Job description

InfoSum is WPP’s privacy-first data collaboration technology, trusted by global businesses to unlock the full potential of their first-party data without risk. Its patented, cross-cloud, decentralized collaboration technology leverages advanced Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) to radically transform how companies generate audience intelligence and drive better customer experiences. As the foundational infrastructure underpinning WPP Open, InfoSum powers trusted data collaboration across every cloud, client, and capability.

Role Purpose

The Senior Technology Risk Analyst is responsible for managing and continuously improving the Information Security Management System (ISMS) across Data & Technology Solutions. You will ensure that security policies, controls, risks, exceptions, and governance processes are properly maintained, evidenced, reviewed, and acted upon.

Reporting to the SVP Security and Compliance, you will provide the operational backbone for security governance across DTS. This is a hands-on Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) role. You will collaborate across security, product, engineering, infrastructure, architecture, legal, risk, compliance, and delivery teams to transform security governance into a dynamic, working management system rather than a static documentation exercise.

Maintain the ISMS framework, documentation, control library, policies, standards, and procedures.

Ensure the ISMS accurately reflects how DTS operates across products, platforms, infrastructure, data, and engineering.

Support alignment with frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA (where applicable), and wider WPP security requirements.

Ensure ISMS artefacts are version-controlled, approved, reviewed, and communicated appropriately.

Maintain clear evidence of security governance activity, control operation, risk treatment, and management reviews.

2. Policy Management & Control Governance

Own the lifecycle of DTS security and compliance policies, standards, procedures, and control documentation.

Coordinate policy reviews with Security, Architecture, Infrastructure, Engineering, Product, Legal, Risk, and Enterprise Technology stakeholders.

Ensure policies are practical, clear, enforceable, and aligned with DTS's operating reality.

Track policy exceptions, waivers, compensating controls, and review dates.

Ensure policy changes are communicated and seamlessly embedded into operational processes.

3. Risk Review Board Operation

Establish and continuously run the DTS Risk Review Board .

Define the Board’s cadence, agenda, inputs, outputs, attendees, and escalation routes.

Prepare comprehensive risk packs, dashboards, decision logs, and action trackers.

Ensure risks are presented clearly, consistently, and with appropriate supporting evidence.

Track decisions, owners, due dates, mitigations, exceptions, and residual risks.

Escalate risks exceeding agreed thresholds to the SVP Security and Compliance, DTS leadership, the CISO office, or other appropriate forums.

4. Risk Register Management

Own and maintain the central DTS security and compliance risk register.

Capture, assess, categorise, and maintain security, compliance, privacy, operational resilience, third-party, and technology risks.

Ensure all risks have clear descriptions, owners, likelihood/impact ratings, inherent risk scores, mitigations, residual risk scores, treatment plans, and target dates.

Partner with risk owners to ensure mitigations are realistic, funded, and actively progressed.

Track overdue risk actions and escalate insufficient progress.

Produce regular risk reporting for DTS leadership and wider WPP governance forums.

5. Control Assurance & Evidence Management

Support ongoing assurance activity by ensuring controls are consistently evidenced, tested, and reviewed.

Maintain control evidence for ISO 27001, SOC 2, client assurance, internal audits, and other compliance needs.

Coordinate evidence collection from Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, Product, HR, Legal, and Enterprise Technology.

Identify gaps between documented controls and actual operating practices, tracking remediation plans.

6. Compliance Support & Audit Readiness

Support DTS compliance obligations (ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR-related controls, and client-specific requirements).

Help prepare for internal/external audits, client reviews, security questionnaires, and due diligence exercises.

Maintain an organized, always-ready evidence library and audit trail.

Support management reviews required by ISO 27001 and other governance frameworks.

7. Exception, Waiver & Remediation Tracking

Manage the formal process for security exceptions, policy waivers, risk acceptances, and remediation plans.

Ensure exceptions are documented, reviewed, approved, time-bound, and assigned to accountable owners.

Track compensating controls, monitor residual risk, and manage the renewal/escalation of expired exceptions.

8. Third-Party & Supplier Risk Support

Help assess security and compliance risks associated with vendors, partners, tools, platforms, and managed services.

Maintain supplier risk records and coordinate with Procurement, Legal, CISO, Enterprise Technology, and Product teams.

Ensure third-party risk is appropriately integrated into the DTS risk register and Risk Review Board.

9. Security Governance Reporting

Produce clear, reliable, and actionable governance dashboards and reports for the SVP Security and Compliance and DTS leadership.
