Risk, Security & Compliance Job Descriptions

Hello everybody,

I just came across an interesting eBook created by Mr. George Lekatis from Compliance LLC . This eBook provides a collection of 100 job descriptions covering risk management, information security and compliance positions.

The descriptions are about 2 pages each and are more in the line of job posting, still they are interesting in my opinion to point you in the right direction. It can be freely downloaded here.  There is a bit of self promotion in there but I can not blame him, the book is free and normalizing all job description surely took some time.  If I had one recommandation to make to Mr. Lekatis, it would be to provide a better index to ease the navigation through the book.

As a final remark, if you are looking for a formal and more detailed resource on the subject of job description, roles and responsibilities, you should look at the all time classic “Information Security Roles & Responsibilities Made Easy V.2.0” by Cresson Wood. It might seem a bit pricy but it definitely worth the investment if you are looking for a full blown reference on the subject.

Talk you soon !
