Client & Third Party Security (CTPS) is a specialist team within the Bank's Group Threat Management (GTM) function, forming part of Information & Cyber Security (ICS). The team plays a critical role in delivering the Group's ICS Strategy by helping build a comprehensive, threat-focused understanding of its external ecosystem, including third party vendors, key partners, and clients. CTPS helps protect the Bank by managing third-party cyber risk end-to-end through delivery of Third Party Security Assessments, contractual control oversight, third party continuous monitoring, detection, analysis and investigation of third party incidents, and targeted remediation of third party security observations.

The role will work closely with teams responsible for third party security assessments, incident investigations, remediation of third party control gaps, threat intelligence, Supply Chain Management and broader Third Party Risk Management stakeholders. It will ensure monitoring outputs are investigated in a timely and consistent manner, significant risks are escalated appropriately, and insights are used to inform reassessments, remediation priorities, incident response activity and wider control uplift.

This includes driving improvements to monitoring tools, data sources, alerting logic, operating procedures, reporting and governance..

• Drive the evolution of continuous monitoring from periodic external attack surface review to a more integrated capability that informs assessments, reassessments, incident investigations, control remediation and residual risk decisions.
• Identify and implement opportunities to enhance the Bank's security posture through improved monitoring tooling, data sources, alerting, analytics, automation and intelligence-led prioritisation.
• Contribute to strategic initiatives across CTPS and TPRM that strengthen third party cyber resilience and improve the Bank's ability to detect and respond to emerging supplier risks.

Business
