The impact you will make as an Information Risk & Compliance Officer

As an Information Risk & Compliance Officer at Akkuro, you are responsible for controlling information risks and play a key role in the continuous improvement of our organisation. You have the opportunity to make an impact across borders, supporting both Akkuro Savings & Investments (NL) and Akkuro Core Banking (NL and Iceland).

You perform in-depth analyses and risk assessments on both new and existing components, ensuring that risks are identified, managed, and structurally embedded within the organisation. In the event of security incidents, you take the lead: coordinating swiftly and decisively to limit impact, implement effective measures, and align closely with fellow Security Officers.

You also play a crucial role in embedding security and risk control throughout the entire development lifecycle. From design to delivery, you ensure that security is consistently and structurally addressed. You translate security policies into clear, practical guidelines for all stakeholders - from developers to management - while ensuring transparency and accountability for auditors, customers, and internal leadership.
