Vacancies and post details
| S# | Post | Seats | Education | Experience |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) | 1 | Master’s, 18 years education, in Information Security or Computer Science, plus CISM/CISSP | 10 years |
| 2 | Chief Technology Officer (CTO) | 1 | Master’s, 18 years education, in Computer Science or IT, plus certifications | 10 years |
| 3 | Application Security Engineer | 1 | Bachelor’s, 16 years education, in Computer Science or IT | 5 years |
| 4 | Security Compliance Officer | 1 | Bachelor’s, 16 years education, in Computer Science or IT | 5 years |
| 5 | IT Assistant | 1 | Bachelor’s, 14 years education, in Computer Science or IT | 2 years |
| 6 | IT Technician-I | 1 | Intermediate plus Diploma in Hardware or Networking | 2 years |
No age column appears in this table, because the listing gives no age for any single post. The two leadership posts need 10 years of experience, the two mid-level posts need 5 years, and the two support posts need 2 years.
What the roles cover
The six posts fall into three groups. First, leadership: Chief Information Security Officer and Chief Technology Officer lead the technology and security work. Second, security practice: Application Security Engineer and Security Compliance Officer handle application security and compliance. Third, support: IT Assistant and IT Technician-I handle day-to-day IT and hardware work.
PPRA is the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority, and its name points to its work in public procurement. Its technology team therefore supports procurement systems and the data around them. As a result, the security posts matter here, because procurement records and systems need protection from misuse.

Who should apply
These posts suit IT and security professionals with the matching degree and the experience the post needs. A security leader with 10 years of experience, for example, fits the CISO or CTO post, while a security engineer with 5 years fits either mid-level post. Likewise, a candidate with 2 years of experience fits IT Assistant or IT Technician-I.
On the other hand, a candidate without the degree level the post needs should wait for a round that fits. A bachelor’s degree holder, for instance, cannot take a post that needs a master’s degree with 18 years of education. Similarly, a candidate with no hardware or networking diploma should skip IT Technician-I.

How to choose between the posts
Start with your experience, because it splits the six posts into three clear tiers. With 10 years of experience, look at CISO and CTO. Candidates with 5 years can weigh Application Security Engineer against Security Compliance Officer. With 2 years, compare IT Assistant with IT Technician-I.
Next, match your daily work to the role title. A candidate who tests and secures applications fits Application Security Engineer, while a candidate who checks rules and standards fits Security Compliance Officer. In the same way, a candidate who fixes hardware and networks fits IT Technician-I better than IT Assistant.
Finally, check the education level before you decide. The two leadership posts need 18 years of education, the two mid-level posts need 16 years, and IT Assistant needs 14 years. IT Technician-I is the only post that takes Intermediate plus a diploma instead of a degree. Readers at the technician level can also compare our NADRA data center technician jobs 2026 guide.

The listing gives no salary figure and names no application fee. For queries, the listing gives HR Expert, PPRA, 1st Floor, FBC Building, Sector G-5/2, Islamabad, phone 051-9201850.
Common mistakes to avoid
First, applying for a post whose education level you do not meet, such as a leadership post with only a bachelor’s degree. Second, mixing the two mid-level posts, when one suits application security work and the other suits compliance work.
Third, assuming an age limit for your post, when the listing gives no age for any single post. Fourth, waiting until the last day to apply, since online portals slow down near the deadline. Finally, submitting a form with missing or wrong details, because a rushed form is the easiest mistake to make.
