Across government, the effective protection of data is critical to maintaining public trust, ensuring compliance with legislation and enabling the responsible use of digital technologies. As organisations increasingly rely on data and digital platforms, strong data protection monitoring and compliance capability is essential to identifying risks, managing incidents and supporting robust governance. Ofgem plays a vital role in the UKs energy system, protecting consumers and enabling a more secure, fair and sustainable energy future, and safeguarding information is fundamental to this mission.
Ofgem is on an ambitious transformation journey. Within the Digital, Data and Security Services (DDSS) directorate, we are strengthening our approach to data protection, security monitoring and compliance. This includes enhancing our ability to detect and respond to data-related incidents, support regulatory obligations and ensure that data is handled responsibly across the organisation.
As a Data Protection Monitoring and Compliance Analyst, you will play a key role in supporting the organisations data protection and security capabilities. You will monitor and investigate data protection events, contribute to governance processes and support the handling of incidents, freedom of information requests and e-discovery activities. You will work closely with cyber security, legal and operational teams to ensure that risks are identified, managed and appropriately mitigated.
This is a hands-on role within a complex and regulated environment, requiring strong analytical capability, attention to detail and an understanding of data protection principles. You will contribute to maintaining compliance while supporting continuous improvement in how Ofgem manages and protects information.
