See a Different World. Where potential is seen and progress is nurtured.

As a Physical Security Risk Assessment Specialist at Securitas, you’ll do more than assess risk—you’ll help protect critical infrastructure and enable informed decision-making across the business. Your expertise will provide clarity, assurance, and confidence to stakeholders operating in complex, high-security environments.

Working within the Physical Security Operations team, you’ll be a key interface with internal and external stakeholders, supporting industry-standard physical security programs and services. You’ll collaborate closely with stakeholder security teams and third-party data centre providers to understand security requirements, assess risks, and deliver actionable insights.

Whether you’re conducting physical security risk assessments, performing vulnerability and gap analysis, or delivering clear, concise briefings to senior leaders, you’ll play a vital role in safeguarding data centre operations and supporting compliance with regulatory and auditing requirements such as SSAE 18, ISO, and PCI.

This is an individual contributor role, offering the opportunity to influence security operational priorities through evidence-based risk analysis. You’ll support decision-making by providing meaningful insights, maintaining documentation and metrics, and contributing to the development of processes that enhance risk visibility and operational performance. National and international travel of up to 50% is required.

This isn’t just another job. It’s your opportunity to step into a role as a Physical Security Risk Assessment Specialist where your expertise is valued, your impact is visible, and your professional growth is supported every step of the way.

Responsibilities

You’ll play a vital part in keeping people, property, and information safe. That includes:

 • Demonstrate understanding and engagement with the Securitas Core Values of Integrity, Vigilance and Helpfulness, whilst showing a natural ability to recognise risk within the workplace and consider safety as a priority, complying with relevant policies, procedures and training as provided by the Company.

• Provide physical security risk analysis and assessments to ensure data centre locations meet security standards, including vulnerability and gap analysis.

• Perform risk assessment activities to ensure physical security compliance with diverse regulatory and auditing requirements including, but not limited to, SSAE 18, ISO, and PCI.

• Deliver both written and oral briefings tailored for key business stakeholders and senior leadership.

• Collaborate with stakeholders across the enterprise to ensure risk findings are aligned to prioritized company assets and threats.

• Support documentation, data, metrics, and KPI tracking to sustain and improve operational performance.

• Enhance operational strategy by participating in development of processes and services that advance risk visibility and stakeholder decision ‑making.

• National and international travel required up to 50%
