We’re supporting a consultancy on an urgent Security Engineering engagement for one of their key customers. This is a hands-on, generalist role supporting a Transformation programme – ideal for someone who enjoys variety and getting stuck in.

• Investigating and remediating unrestricted 365 add-ins
• Leading and supporting forensic investigations (mail bombs, data exfiltration etc.)
• Handling a variety of incident response tasks
• Responding to ad hoc requests from the Transformation team
• Transferring knowledge to the internal team and maintaining security standards

What we’re looking for:

• Strong incident response and forensic investigation skills
• Able to lead investigations, deliver independently, and pick things up quickly
• Familiarity with Microsoft’s security stack (Defender, Sentinel, Purview etc.) is a bonus
