Wie zijn wij?

Wie is Stater eigenlijk? Wellicht heb je nog nooit van ons gehoord, dus wij leggen je graag uit wat we doen. Binnen stater ontwikkelen en leveren wij hypothecaire diensten en platformen voor externe geldgevers. Met onze producten en diensten beheren wij 40% van de hypotheken in Nederland. Werken bij ons is dus werken bij een organisatie die midden in de maatschappij staat met producten die veel Nederlandse gezinnen (indirect) raken. Onze klanten zijn o.a. grote Nederlandse banken en andere geldverstrekkers.

Over deze functie

Wat ga je doen?

We are currently implementing a new cybersecurity approach. This approach is easy to explain, transparent, structured, and therefore effective—but there is still a lot of work to do, and we need to bring the organization along in a new way of working that will truly challenge them.

We’re looking for pioneers who want to take cybersecurity to the next level and who are not afraid of change. People who understand the challenges faced by our first-line heroes, but who can also enthusiastically explain a new vision and guide colleagues through improvements.

This applies to all the areas we are responsible for:

• Maintaining the ISMS and ensuring a practical and dynamic cybersecurity policy for and with the organization;
• Increasing cybersecurity awareness through:
• Developing and delivering cybersecurity awareness programs and training;
• Giving presentations;
• Supporting (external) audits related to the cybersecurity scope;
• Reporting to senior management on the quality and implementation of policies.

Technological innovation, an evolving threat landscape, and tightening regulations are changing the rules of the game. Combined with Stater’s ambition to grow within the European market, this offers an exciting challenge in a dynamic environment.
