1 How much of what a director of compliance and information security is expected to do is already part of a director of compliance and information security in gambling’s work.

What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A director of compliance and information security role treats 3 of its required skills as things a director of compliance and information security in gambling already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • ensure compliance with policies
  • implement ICT security policies
  • information security strategy

What stands in the way is 9 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 3 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A director of compliance and information security role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held information security strategy information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held ensure compliance with policies management skills
  • already held implement ICT security policies working with computers

All 3 carried skills, including the 3 the director of compliance and information security role treats as required.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
