Assurity Trusted Solutions · Singapore, Singapore (Hybrid) · — · Posted 2026-08-26

Workplace: hybrid

Department: CIO

Description

Assurity Trusted Solutions (ATS) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Government Technology Agency (GovTech). As a Trusted Partner over the last decade. ATS offers a comprehensive suite of products and services ranging from infrastructure and operational services, governance and assurance services as well as managed processes. In a dynamic digital & cyber landscape where trust & collaboration is key, ATS continues to drive mutually beneficial business outcomes through collaboration with GovTech, government agencies and commercial partners to mitigate cyber risks and bolster security postures.

Responsibilities:

GRC leadership & 2nd line of defence

• Act as the de facto lead for GRC, shaping how we govern risk and compliance across managed products and platforms within the team’s remit.
• Operate as 2nd line of defence for ICT risk and controls providing independent challenge on risk, control design, and effectiveness.
• Partner closely with Product team to embed pragmatic security and compliance into day-to-day delivery.

Security Plan governance and automation

• Own the governance and standards for Security Plan submissions across CIOO and product teams – including templates, minimum evidence expectations, and quality benchmarks.
• Review Security Plans and supporting evidence, assess control coverage and implementation maturity, and Recommendation of Security Plan approvals to the stakeholders.

• Treat automation as an “always-on audit”:

• Collaborate with product and platform teams to define the Security Plan evidence that should be checked automatically.

• Use automated checks to surface gaps, anomalies, and missing evidence, and drive remediation with product teams.

• Track and report KPIs for Security Plan (e.g. coverage and consistency of controls, Security Plan cycle time, defect rates) across CIOO and product teams.

ICT audit and evidence management

• Design, implement, and own workflows for ICT audit, risk, and findings management.

• Structure and maintain knowledge and documentation spaces as the source of truth for:

• ICT audit plans, scopes, and procedures

• Control descriptions and standard evidence templates

• Central repositories of audit evidence and Security Plan artefacts

• Plan and execute thematic and product-level ICT audits under the CISO’s direction, independently assessing:

• Whether required work has been completed

• Whether evidence provided by product teams is sufficient and reliable

• Coordinate with internal audit (3rd line) on ICT/security audit engagements, facilitate evidence collection, and track closure of findings in the issue-tracking system.

• Provide regular management reporting on audit status, key risks, and trends to CIOO leadership and the CISO.

Security policy ownership

• Serve as author and custodian for key GovTech-wide security and technology policies under CIOO’s remit, for example:

• Sandbox usage (development / test environments)

• AI coding practices and guardrails

• SaaS usage, onboarding, and clearance requirements

• Own the policy lifecycle: drafting, stakeholder consultation, impact assessment, approval routing, publication, and periodic review.

• Translate policy into clear, practical guidance for product teams (e.g. how to comply in the issue-tracking and collaboration platforms, what “good” evidence looks like, what patterns and exceptions are acceptable).
• Monitor policy adoption and escalate material non-compliance or risk acceptances to the CISO where necessary.

Security Education, Training and Awareness (SeTA)

• Lead SeTA for GovTech HQ in alignment with CIOO’s cyber strategy and policies.

• Design and run targeted SeTA campaigns, including:

• Phishing simulations and follow-up actions

• Security newsletters tailored to different audiences (e.g. tech vs non-tech)

• Brown-bag sessions / clinics to deep-dive into topics like SaaS usage, sandboxing, secure coding, and incident reporting.

• Define and track SeTA KPIs (e.g. phishing susceptibility, completion rates, engagement metrics) and use insights to continually refine content and focus areas.

Change management & stakeholder engagement

• Champion a “new way of doing audit and GRC” using:

• standard issue-tracking and collaboration tools as the primary systems of record for audit and evidence

• automated controls and analytics for continuous, data-driven assurance

• Influence and negotiate with senior stakeholders (Product Directors, Application Owners, central functions) to adopt and sustain these new practices.

• Communicate complex policy and risk topics in clear, outcome-focused language, tailored to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Provide clear, actionable recommendations to the CISO and CIOO leadership on risk, remediation priorities, and structural improvements.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in Cybersecurity, preferably in a regulated or public-sector environment.

• Strong understanding of:

• ICT governance and security controls across applications, infrastructure, and SaaS

• How product teams work (SDLC, agile delivery, cloud/SaaS usage) and where to embed controls without blocking delivery.

• Comfortable acting as 2nd line of defence – providing independent challenge, validating evidence, and working constructively with 1st line teams and 3rd line internal audit.

• Practical experience with enterprise issue-tracking and collaboration platforms:

• Designing or maintaining workflows, issue types, and dashboards for audit, risk, or compliance

• Structuring spaces/pages for policies, standards, and evidence repositories

• Strong policy writing skills – able to draft clear, concise policies and standards, and translate them into playbooks, checklists, and working-level guidance.

• Experience in security awareness and training:

• Designing or running phishing simulations

• Producing newsletters or comms

• Delivering talks or briefings is a plus.

• Comfortable working with automation and AI-enabled tools (such as enterprise search platforms) to scale GRC and audit work.

• Excellent stakeholder management, influencing, and negotiation skills, with a track record of:

• Leading change in how teams work (e.g. moving to issue-tracking- and collaboration-based evidence and audit)

• Challenging assumptions respectfully
• Finding pragmatic, risk-aware compromises.
