Job Description
Security at Keenfinity is not a compliance exercise.
It is a business-critical function that directly affects the valuation and saleability of four Business Units.
Every BU exit involves a buyer who will scrutinise Keenfinity's security posture in due diligence.
Any significant finding — unpatched vulnerabilities, weak IAM controls, an ISMS that doesn't survive audit — will either reduce the sale price or delay the transaction.
As CISO, the role owns that risk.
The role is the security authority across the entire Keenfinity IT organisation, reporting directly to the Director IT STG (Director IT STG).
The role sets the security strategy, oversee the SIEM/SOC (the SOC Lead), IAM (the IAM Lead) and ISMS (the ISMS Manager) functions, and hold sign-off authority at every divestiture phase gate for security readiness.
The role is also the person who sits across the table from buyer security teams in due diligence and can defend Keenfinity's security programme with credibility.
This is a senior, high-visibility role in a PE-backed environment with a defined exit horizon.
The right person thrives under that constraint — they see the exits as the forcing function to prioritise ruthlessly and deliver what matters.
Key Responsibilities
Security strategy & governance
Define and own Keenfinity's IT security strategy for the divestiture period: threat landscape assessment, security architecture principles, risk appetite definition
Establish and maintain the IT security governance framework: policies, standards, exception management, risk register at the enterprise level
Report security risk status monthly to Director IT STG; produce quarterly security dashboards for Triton / CFO as required
Advise the Director IT STG on security implications of cost reduction initiatives — particularly vendor consolidations, license exits and cloud rightsizing decisions (FinOps Analyst interface)
Divestiture security — phase gate authority
Hold formal security sign-off authority at every BU divestiture phase gate: no gate advances without CISO confirmation that security separation is complete and defensible
Define the security requirements checklist for each exit: network separation, IAM tenant split, data classification and handling, encryption standards, security tooling carve-out
Coordinate with the Enterprise Architect to ensure security architecture is embedded in every separation blueprint from the start — not retrofitted at the end
Lead security due diligence preparation for each BU sale: produce security posture documentation, penetration test summaries, ISMS certification evidence, incident history and remediation records
Act as the primary security contact for buyer due diligence teams; represent Keenfinity's security programme credibly in technical and executive-level conversations
Security operations oversight
Provide strategic direction to the SOC Lead: SIEM platform strategy, detection coverage priorities, incident response protocols, escalation thresholds
Provide strategic direction to the IAM Lead: identity governance framework, privileged access management, directory architecture — especially relevant for AD/Azure AD separation per exit
Provide strategic direction to the ISMS Manager: ISO *** programme priorities, ISMS scope management per BU exit, certification renewal strategy
Review and approve major security architectural decisions; maintain the security ar
