SECURE is proud to partner with a specialised Information / Cyber Security Consultancy that believes true resilience is built on empowering people. Founded by former investigators, they bring a practical, evidence-based perspective to the private sector. They are seeking a Mid-Level Cyber Consultant who can act as a reliable, supportive guide for their growing client base across the North of the UK, helping SMEs.
Role Overview:
You will be a trusted guide for their clients. For many organisations, the prospect of a compliance audit or certification assessment is daunting. Your job is to make the process clear and manageable. You will be hands-on with compliance - conducting gap analyses, writing accessible policies, running internal audits, and ensuring security is embedded naturally into how their clients operate. Importantly, you will not do this alone. You will work directly alongside several of the founders, who are deeply committed to providing you with ongoing mentoring, training, and support to continuously elevate your consulting career.
Who Should Apply:
- The Practical Implementer: GRC / Information Security / Cyber Security experience and find satisfaction in guiding clients from an initial assessment to successful certification status. You enjoy detail-oriented work and constructive process review.
- The Empathetic Communicator: You understand that business leaders care about keeping their operations safe, not about 'cyber jargon'. You can explain vulnerabilities and their solutions calmly, clearly, and effectively.
Skills & Experience:
- Information & Cyber Security / GRC Delivery (2+ Years): Proven, hands-on experience implementing ISO 27001 management systems and guiding organisations through core security assessments.
- Attention to Detail: Highly organised and likely hold an internal auditor or lead implementer qualification. You understand requirements of external assessments.
- Framework Breadth: Good, practical understanding of IASME Cyber Essentials / CE+, Cyber Assurance & ISO 27001. Comfortable mapping controls against NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) & NIST guidelines for more complex client environments.
- Policy Writing: You can write clear, practical security policies that reflect how people actually work, ensuring they are accessible to all employees.
- Integrity: We welcome applications from applicants with prior experience within public sector, law enforcement, or military.
Responsibilities:
- Implement & Assess: Manage day-to-day delivery of Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials+, IASME Cyber Assurance assessments & ISO 27001 projects. Conduct thorough gap analyses & internal audits, seamlessly cross-referencing standards like NIST & NCSC CAF where appropriate.
- Learn & Grow: Partner with the founders on complex accounts. They will provide dedicated mentorship, sharing their insights to sharpen your consulting expertise.
- Guide: Support clients through certification portals for Cyber Essentials & Cyber Assurance. Reviewing submissions, identifying areas for improvement & providing practical, jargon-free remediation advice.
- Facilitate: Deliver engaging security awareness training sessions, grounded in real-world scenarios, helping clients build a confident & informed workforce.
- Support the Team: Share your knowledge by helping to coach & mentor junior consultants, fostering a supportive & inclusive team environment.
At SECURE, we value attitude & aptitude over certifications. If you possess the drive and relevant experience to deliver tangible results aligned with our clients' needs, reach out. We embrace DE&I & welcome applications from underrepresented groups, minorities, women in cyber security, neurodiverse individuals, LGBTQ+ community members, veterans & those from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
