Help us make the internet a safer place.

The digital world faces a constant storm of evolving cyber threats, and IT professionals are on the front lines, defending their organizations’ most valuable assets against increasingly sophisticated attacks. At Link11, one of Europe’s leading providers of cybersecurity solutions, we know that pressure well. We protect companies and public authorities through meticulous attention to detail and the early adoption of cutting-edge methods, and we take full responsibility for our customers’ security.

Our market reputation is built on enterprise-grade cybersecurity that keeps IT networks and critical applications safe, so our customers can focus on their core business. With AI-driven technology and patented DDoS protection, and a portfolio spanning Network DDoS Protection, WAAP, Secure CDN and Secure DNS, we are constantly finding new and better ways to strengthen their defenses.

Above all, we are a team of passionate people united by one mission: to make the internet a safer place. More than 100 colleagues work across our international locations, including Frankfurt, Lisbon, Tel Aviv and Vancouver, many of them fully remote. Are you highly motivated and looking for a challenging, rewarding role where you can truly make a difference? Then you are very welcome at Link11. Shape our digital future with us.

Your future challenges.

At Link11, security is our product. Our customers buy our security posture along with our service, so our ISMS is a reason they choose us, not paperwork. As Information Security Officer (GRC), you run our ISMS, certifications and security awareness program and report to our VP Cybersecurity Strategy. You can work fully remote from Germany or Portugal.

• Coordinate audits for ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS and BSI C5, and track findings to closure.

• Monitor controls in our compliance platform and close gaps together with control owners.

Regulation & Governance

• Keep NIS2 obligations and GDPR TOMs in place, working with our external DPO.
• Support AI governance by assessing our internal use of AI against the EU AI Act and our AI policy.
• Review new vendors and tools for security and privacy risks.

Security Awareness & Collaboration

• Experience using LLMs to work more efficiently, combined with a clear sense of where human review is essential.
• An ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor certification, or a comparable qualification, is a plus.
