The ISMS Officer/Lead will support the ISMS Project Manager in the implementation and management of the Information Security Management System (ISMS) across Safran Seats sites. This includes assisting in the preparation of ISMS processes, methods, and tools to ensure compliance with the new EASA Part-IS regulation.
The Part-IS requirements apply to all Safran Seats functions, including Engineering, Production, Aftermarket, IT, HR, Supply Chain and Quality.
