ABOUT THE CLIENT

Our client is a major organisation operating within a highly regulated Defence environment. They are currently transitioning towards a multi-supplier service model and require an experienced Cyber Security Consultant to provide governance and coordination across security incident and vulnerability management.

THE BENEFITS

THE CYBER SECURITY CONSULTANT ROLE

As Cyber Security Consultant, you will support the alignment and governance of high-severity security incident and vulnerability management processes across multiple suppliers.

You will coordinate suppliers, establish consistent approaches to incident severity, vulnerability prioritisation and risk acceptance, and ensure security outputs are evidence-driven, audit-ready and aligned with client policy.

This is primarily a governance and coordination role rather than a hands-on SOC, incident response or vulnerability remediation position.

• Strong understanding of incident and vulnerability management lifecycles
• Experience working within multi-supplier or SIAM environments
• Ability to interpret SOC and vulnerability management outputs
• Experience with security governance, risk, assurance and reporting
• Familiarity with vulnerability prioritisation approaches such as CVSS, KEV or EPSS

Experience within Defence, NIST CSF, NCSC guidance, ISMS, audit or ITIL environments would be advantageous.
