The Role
The systems assessment section is expanding and seeking to fill multiple positions across ICT Risk and Compliance Assessor roles. These positions range from entry level to senior team members.

As an ICT Risk and Compliance Assessor you will engage in performing security threat and risk assessments of diverse range of critical military and government systems to ensure fit-for-purpose security controls are implemented.

You will also engage with our stakeholders to conduct threat modelling, threat assessments and provide guidance on diverse security topics.

As you go along, you will develop tactical and technical abilities to outthink our adversaries and protect our secrets.


You will have the opportunity to enrol in several learning and training pathways, leading to recognised certifications and qualifications in ICT audits, threat modelling and security architecture.

You will also be able to specialise in security domains such as cross domain architectures, automated continuous assessment techniques and ICT security of systems hosted in remote and harsh environments.


The section is looking to recruit people with experience or passion to learn security threat modelling, security risk assessments and mitigations.

Examples of the types of things you will do (or learn to do) are:

  • Perform threat modelling and assessments of highly sensitive and critical systems.
  • Conduct ICT risk assessments by utilising frameworks such as ASD information security manual (ISM) and Essential Eight.
  • Undertake site visits to assess and validate control implementation against documented controls.
  • Consult interdisciplinary internal teams to validate security posture of specific products and systems, and suitability of alternative controls.
  • Develop reports that help senior executives, highlighting key findings of ICT risk assessments and proposed mitigations.
  • Deliver regular reports regarding assessment activities.

ASD4 ICT Risk and Compliance Assessors:

  • With supervision, perform assigned modular tasks and respond to inquiries from stakeholders.
  • Proactively report and escalate any issues with ongoing assessments.
  • Develop knowledge of cyber security frameworks and technologies.
  • Actively engage in ongoing selfimprovement and professional development.

ASD5 ICT Risk and Compliance Assessors:

  • With limited supervision, deliver assigned broader tasks and provide guidance to stakeholders.
  • Actively liaise with key stakeholders to identify relevant expectations and concerns.
  • Develop a sound understanding of cyber security frameworks and technologies.
  • Proactively identify training needs and engage in ongoing selfimprovement and professional development.

ASD6 ICT Risk and Compliance Assessors:

  • Take responsibility for end-to-end delivery assigned projects, by coordinating with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Build, extend and sustain positive relationships with key stakeholders and interdisciplinary ASD teams.
  • Identify process improvement opportunities and take initiatives to drive change within the team.
Performing security assessments requires you to be on-site most days and may require visiting client sites occasionally. However, there will be a range of flexible working arrangements available in line with ASD determination.
