Lead HMRC’s Identity Fraud Framework and ensure consistent, highquality delivery of Identity Fraud Risk Assessments (iFRAs) across priority journeys and platforms. Own and evolve the iFRA methodology, enable regimes and service teams to use it effectively, and convert findings into prioritised control improvements and measurable risk reduction through HMRC’s change and risk governance.

Context you'll operate in:

• iFRA is a collaborative approach mapping identity touchpoints, threats, vulnerabilities, controls and residual risks to produce actionable recommendations.
• iFRAs sit within Identity Fraud Strategy & Advisory, alongside kill chain modelling, KRIs and the controls library.
• The framework must remain aligned to HMRC policies, HMG standards (e.g., GPG44/45, GovS 007) and crossgovernment identity models.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve the iFRA framework, templates and guidance, ensuring alignment with HMG standards.
• Lead endtoend iFRAs for highrisk journeys, coordinating workshops, evidence reviews and control walkthroughs.
