About us

We value diversity and welcome all applications – regardless of, for example, gender, nationality, ethnic or social origin, religion, disability, age as well as sexual orientation and identity, physical characteristics, marital status or any other irrelevant factor subject to applicable law.  

As a member of the multinational security management team at IONOS SE, you will be working for one of Europe's largest hosters in the rapidly growing cloud sector, contributing your knowledge and experience to better protect our products and system landscape. You will be responsible for the design and operation of an integrated management system that includes certified areas from ISO 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz and BSI C5, among others, and is constantly being expanded.

The aim is to encourage and control the implementation and operation of security mechanisms, not only to demonstrate that our products meet the security requirements of the standards, but also to increase the benefits for our customers and the company.

You will bridge ISO 27001, BSI C5, and IT-Grundschutz with emerging regulatory standards like NIS2 and KRITIS, ensuring our products maintain rock-solid compliance while enabling rapid innovation.

• Regulatory & Certification Alignment: Align our certification frameworks with evolving regulatory requirements, including NIS2 and KRITIS standards.
• Reporting & Executive Interface: Design, compile, and present security metrics and certification status reports to senior management.

• Tooling & Automation Mindset: Experience with modern GRC tools and automated evidence collection, reducing manual reporting overhead.
