Job summary:

The Government Security Group (GSG) is responsible for the oversight, coordination and delivery of protective security within all central government departments, their agencies and arms-length bodies.

GSG supports Ministers, the Cabinet Secretary and Chief Executive of the Civil Service by monitoring departmental security performance and managing serious or pan-government security risks and incidents.

We provide the corporate centre for the Civil Service wide Security Function, so as well as working in a close knit, mutually supportive, high performing central team there are plenty of opportunities to work with all government departments and agencies.

Within GSG stands the Directorate of Security Capabilities (DSC). DSC supports the development and delivery of high profile, key security initiatives.

This includes a small team responsible for the strategic oversight and governance of Rosa - the secure IT system that the Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary and other key Cabinet members rely upon to handle national security, sensitive defence, diplomatic, trade and counter-terrorism matters.

GSG's information and cyber security policies drive the requirement for working at SECRET, so oversight sits with us. The Cabinet Office has the responsibility for Rosa's strategic oversight and governance.

The Rosa Service Organisation, hosted by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, manages and delivers the system and service itself.

We work as a single matrix team.

With over 14,000 users across 86+ organisations in 335 sites and 166 countries, Rosa is a critical capability for protecting information against the most sophisticated cyber adversaries, via innovative and bespoke national security controls.

Rosa is a key element of the Government Cyber Security Strategy and central to HMG's ability to deliver its national security, diplomatic, law enforcement and sensitive policy development activities.

This important role forms part of a small, strategic, multi-disciplinary Rosa Oversight and Development team in the Cabinet Office.
