We make health happen

At Bupa, we’re passionate about technology. With colleagues, customers, patients and residents in mind you’ll have the opportunity to work on innovative projects and make a real impact on their lives.

Right from the start you’ll become part of our digital strategy, joining us on our journey and developing yourself along the way.

The IT Risk and Controls Testing Analyst will be part of a team of four working under the guidance of IT Risk and Control Assurance Manager with the primary purpose of testing the IT controls that are applied to business applications and to the processes, services and infrastructure that support them.  

The Testing Analyst will cover all types of Information Technology (IT) and Information Security (IS) controls, and taking a risk-based approach will test the set of controls. This includes controls related to cyber security (modelled on the NIST, ISO, CIS-20 & CCM frameworks) as well as general IT controls aligned to the COBIT and ITIL frameworks.

You’ll help us make health happen by:

  • Collaborate with a team of testing colleagues to perform Risk based control testing.

  • Execute the control testing activities in line with the guidance provided by the IT Risk and Control Assurance Managers and IT Risk and Control Testing Specialists

  • Facilitate risk and control self-assessments.

  • Provide “audit quality” independent testing documentation of IT processes and controls

  • Track the remediation of any defects identified by the RCSA process.

  • Support the IT Risk & Control Assurance Managers and IT Risk & Control Testing Specialists in ad hoc deep-dive reviews of IT processes and controls, specifically where repeated incidents have occurred

  • Document and report control deficiencies and capture recommended improvements to process and control design and operation.

  • Conduct onsite or desk-based control assessments of third parties during the onboarding or tender process under the guidance of the IT Risk & Control Assurance Managers and IT Risk & Control Testing Specialists

  • Build a trusted relationship with IT Risk Process and IT Control owners.

  • Work with the Process and Control owners to improve Processes and Controls

Key Skills / Qualifications needed for this role:

  • Formal training and hands-on experience of designing, operating or auditing IT Controls.

  • Experience of IT in a regulated financial services company would be useful but is not essential

  • Experience in auditing cloud service and deployment models would be useful but not essential

  • Demonstrable experience in Information Technology audits or IT Assurance (e.g. CISSP, CISM, CISA, CRISC, CCAK)

  • A sound understanding of British and International Security Standards (e.g. ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27002, NIST, CIS-20, PCIDSS) and the UK regulatory environment (e.g. ICO, FCA, PRA and CQC).

  • Strong interpersonal, communication and influencing skills with the confidence and ability to operate effectively at all levels including third parties and external customers

  • Professional experience in carrying out IT control reviews in a 1s, 2nd or 3rd line of defence position

  • Ability to work under pressure maintaining tight deadlines, high concentration levels and keeping up with workflow requirements
