Information Security Compliance & Governance Coordinator (NIS2 / ISO 27001) (m/w/d)

We are an essential entity under the NIS2 Directive (as transposed in Belgium) and are building our compliance posture via the ISO/IEC 27001 framework. We are looking for a structured and assertive coordinator to join the Information Security team and keep our NIS2 / ISO 27001 compliance program on track.
You will be the operational backbone of the program: tracking policy implementation, collecting and managing evidence, maintaining reporting dashboards, and running the practical side of project governance.
Key responsibilities

• Compliance tracking and reporting
• Build and maintain Excel dashboards and PowerPoint progress reports on NIS2 / ISO 27001 compliance for the management and steering committees

• Consolidate status information, highlight gaps, delays and risks, and keep the data accurate and up to date

• Owner engagement and evidence management
• Collaborate with the owners responsible for implementing policies and controls across the organization

• Follow up with these owners, assertively and constructively, to obtain status updates and deliverables within agreed deadlines

• Collect, review for completeness, and organise evidence supporting control implementation

• Maintain a structured, audit-ready evidence repository with clear naming, versioning and traceability

• Project governance and coordination
• Organise and coordinate governance meetings (steering committees, working groups, follow-up meetings), including agendas, minutes, action logs and follow-ups

• Handle the administrative and practical aspects of project governance

• Escalate blockers and overdue actions to the CISO in a timely manner

• Audit planning
• Plan and coordinate the agendas for internal and external audits (ISO 27001 certification, surveillance audits, NIS2-related assessments)

• Schedule auditees and interviews, and make sure documentation and evidence are ready beforehand

• Track audit findings and follow up on corrective actions with the relevant owners

• Required
• Bachelor's degree or higher (information management, business administration, IT, law, or a related field)

• Working knowledge of information security governance and a good understanding of ISO/IEC 27001 (certification not required)

• Highly structured, organized and detail-oriented, with a strong sense of follow-up

• Assertive and credible communicator, comfortable chasing stakeholders at all levels

• Advanced Excel skills (formulas, pivot tables, dashboards) and strong PowerPoint skills for clear management reporting

• Strong written and spoken English and French; Dutch is a clear asset in the Belgian context

• First experience (1–3 years) in compliance, GRC, audit support, PMO/PSO or a similar role

• Nice to have
• Familiarity with NIS2 and the Belgian framework (national law, Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium, CyFun)

• Knowledge of other frameworks (ISO 27002, NIST, CIS) or GRC tools

• Foundation-level certification (e.g. ISO 27001 Foundation)

• Soft skills
• Rigor, autonomy and reliability

• Diplomacy combined with the ability to hold people to their commitments

• Good sense of priorities and deadlines

• Discretion when handling sensitive information
