Cybersecurity Risk Analyst - Moldova

As a Cybersecurity Risk Analyst, you will play a crucial role in conducting Threat and Risk Assessments (TRA) for a wide range of Grid Solutions projects, including R&D initiatives, product development (hardware & software), and full-scope critical infrastructure systems such as HVDC, HVAC, Firefighting, and more.

By identifying, assessing, and prioritizing cybersecurity risks, you will collaborate with various teams to ensure that potential threats are detected early and that appropriate mitigation measures are implemented. Your work will contribute directly to improving project execution, security compliance, and market readiness.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Providing threat & risk analysis as a service: Planning and performing Cybersecurity Threat and Risk Analyses for IT and OT systems and products across Grid Solutions projects.
• Identifying and prioritizing risks: Identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing cybersecurity risks across projects and systems; assessing risk scenarios, attack vectors, and attacker types along exposure, exploitability, impact, inherent and residual risk.
• Moderating TRA workshops: Facilitating threat and risk analysis workshops together with senior project members and security specialists as TRA moderator.
• Tracking mitigation and residual risk: Recommending risk-based measures, tracking mitigation, and ensuring residual risks are formally reviewed and accepted.
• Maintaining risk transparency: Producing and maintaining the Threat and Risk Analysis, Security Risk Register and risk treatment documentation to ensure traceability, compliance and audit readiness.
• Strengthening the methodology: Continuously improving the TRA process, templates, workflows and tooling (e.g., the PSS Threat and Risk Tool).
• Supporting projects and engineering teams: Sharing identified risks and possible countermeasures with project and engineering teams as input for their decisions.
• Ensuring compliance: Translating relevant standards and regulations into practical risk work (e.g., IEC 62443, CRA, NIS-2, NERC CIP, BDEW Whitepaper).
• Completed studies: Bachelor or Master in IT Security, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering with a focus on IT Security, or a comparable qualification with relevant professional experience.
• Experience in cybersecurity threat and risk assessment, threat modeling and risk prioritization in OT or product security.
• Knowledge of standards: Familiarity with ISA/IEC 62443 (especially risk assessment, 62443-3-2/-3-3), and others such as CRA, NIS-2, NERC CIP, BDEW Whitepaper, ISO 27001/27005.
• OT/ICS understanding: Understanding of industrial control systems, network architectures and protocols, and how security risks manifest in operational environments.
• Proficient in English, with a high level of initiative and the ability to communicate risk to technical and non-technical stakeholders (German is a plus).
• Desirable certifications: Certifications such as ISA/IEC 62443, CEH, CySA+, or similar are a plus (no hard requirement).
