Senior PKI consultant

The Work

As a Senior PKI consultant at Accenture Security, you will advise our clients on how to secure their IT environments from a holistic perspective. Holistic in the sense that security consists of more than just the technology, but always relies on people and processes for success in keeping our client’s valuable data secure. Typically, that would look as follows;

• People: You are the linking pin between the business, IT, and the security department and you make sure that the security measures that are being implemented, are also understood by the business.
• Processes: Data Security have impact on existing security processes or might require new ones. You are able to define and discuss the processes required for efficient and effective security operations.
• Technology: Data Security relies on technology such as PKI and cryptography. You must be able to understand these technologies and their purpose.
• Data Governance:  Client data is crucial for their business goals, the goals that we are trying to protect. You will drive security measures to protect this data and enable the business.

You will be part of the Data & AI Security team that delivers security value for large and complex organizations. You are expected to demonstrate consulting experience through strong communication skills that speak to a diverse field of stakeholders, from stakeholders involved in IT/security operations to stakeholders accountable for high-level security objectives. Typical activities that you perform at our clients include:

• Design, implement, and maintain PKI solutions, ensuring high availability and security;
• Oversee PKI operations, including certificate issuance, and lifecycle management;
• Develop and enforce security policies, standards, and best practices related to PKI and cryptographic key management;
• Collaborate and communicate with internal teams and external vendors to integrate PKI with enterprise security architectures;
• Ensure compliance with regulatory frameworks such as eIDAS, NIST, ISO 27001, and GDPR;
• Ensure Data Security solutions are properly adopted in the clients’ environments by keeping perspective of the people and process aspects;
• Animate client workshops and lead the HLD-LLD documentation writing process;
• Deliver Data security projects as part of a larger Accenture team; while leading and mentoring a small team of security analysts.
