How can you contribute?

Join the Regional IT Security Office for multiple European businesses of the Eurofins Group (Food & Feed Testing, Environment Testing, Sensory Testing). As an Information Security Onboarding Consultant, you will be responsible for analysing cybersecurity risks during Merger and Acquisition (M&A) projects, by assessing the security maturity and coordinating the project to align to Eurofins standards and regulatory requirements. You will also respond to security audits from B2B customers, when applicable.

Your focus on M&A projects will need you to assess the cybersecurity posture of companies considered for acquisition during the due diligence part and produce written reports which consolidate high-level findings and recommendations. Your role will require you to engage with companies after closure to initiate remediation or mitigations. At the end of the cybersecurity onboarding period, your goal will be to provide a final assessment and track the completion of the remaining action plan.

Additionally, you will provide answers to third-party audits by customers, if needed by collecting evidence produced by other teams. You will create and track security improvement plans for specific laboratories within your scope, as well as ensure adequate inventories of assets, third parties and local processes are maintained, with a special focus on internet facing assets.
