Why your role matters

At i3D.net, we’re building our internal security foundation, and you’ll be right at the center of it. As our Lead Security Analyst, you’ll play a key role in securing our Microsoft environment (including Azure, Entra ID, and IAM), while also working on broader topics like incident response, tooling improvements, and DDOS investigations.

We’re currently moving to a new Microsoft tenant, which means you’ll help shape security from the ground up. This includes defining how access is managed, working closely with the Workspace Management (WSM) team, and supporting the rollout of new security controls and monitoring tools.

You’ll collaborate closely with our other Security Analysts and subject matter experts to strengthen detection and response and help support our future SOC capabilities and i3D’s overall security program.

What you’ll be doing

• Ownership of securing our environment from the physical layer all the way up to application: Help design and improve the security of our Azure tenant, Entra ID, and identity and access setup.

• Partner with the Workspace Management (WSM) team: You’ll guide protecting employees, endpoints and tools. Coordinate with the team that manages rights, starters, movers, and leavers, so access stays under control and risks are caught early.

• Tracking, and handling escalated alerts and incidents: Investigate alerts, respond to breaches or policy violations, and make sure issues are resolved properly.

• Drive continuous improvement: Suggest smarter ways of working, contribute to the development of security tools and processes, and strengthen the overall security posture of the company.

• Partnering with Risk and Compliance teams: maintain and enable our compliance with frameworks such as ISO27001 and NIS2

• Lead vulnerability management: Drive system patching efforts for user endpoints and server infrastructure, making sure vulnerabilities are addressed quickly and effectively.

• Support our SOC setup: Help implement or improve tooling like SIEM and SOAR together with the other Security Analyst(s) and partners.

• Stay ahead of threats: Track what’s happening in the security world and help us stay a step ahead.

• Keep others informed: Make sure relevant updates get to the right people, and that security processes are well documented.

• Collaborate with external partners: Join conversations with groups like CSIRT-DSP and handle outside security contacts when needed.

• Work with internal teams: Server as a SME and business partner to aid other departments and product teams to improve how they handle security in their own systems and workflows.

• Netherlands-based and Hybrid-ready: You live in the Netherlands and are happy to join us on-site around two days a week.

Good to Haves
