We’re partnering with a growing consultancy to recruit a Senior Information Assurance (IA) Consultant to support a major client delivering critical systems within the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). This is a high-impact role offering real autonomy, where you’ll play a key part in shaping accreditation and assurance across complex environments. While we are ideally seeking a permanent hire, we are also open to engaging associates with the right experience.
The Opportunity
If you understand how systems truly operate — across Windows, Linux, networking, and the full OSI stack — and can translate that into clear, evidence-led assurance, this role offers the chance to make a tangible impact. You’ll be joining a sharp, collaborative team while owning your own workstream and influencing critical security outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead accreditation activities across multiple CNI systems
- Specify, assess, and validate security controls across Windows and Linux environments
- Apply broad technical understanding across the full OSI model
- Support and contribute to risk assessments, reporting, and governance frameworks
- Work with frameworks including NCSC CAF, GovAssure, and structured risk methodologies
- Deliver clear, credible assurance outputs to senior stakeholders
- Take ownership of your workstream while collaborating across wider teams
What We’re Looking For
- Strong technical comprehension of infrastructure and systems (not hands-on, but deeply knowledgeable)
- Experience in Information Assurance, accreditation, risk, or governance roles
- Knowledge of NCSC CAF, GovAssure, and formal risk frameworks
- Ability to assess and articulate security control effectiveness
- Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills
Desirable Qualifications
- CISSP
- CISM
- TOGAF
- SABSA
- ISO 27001 Lead Auditor
- Azure or AWS certifications
