Working closely with the user researcher, developers of the Cyber Security Model content (PwC) and the CSM digital solution developer (ServiceNow), this role is to ensure appropriate content is shown to a user in the right place and in the best format to meet their needs. They will lead on the design of the digital service, ensuring the platform is optimised to meet our broad range of users needs, considering the Government Service Standard and accessibility requirements.

The Government Digital Service Assessment requires evidence of a solution that is clear and concise for the users. This will include the language of question sets in the Cyber Security Model as well as the technical interfaces, content, and design of the digital tooling solutions.

The Supplier Cyber Protection Service will be used by Defence users in procurement roles and a broad international supply chain.
