We are seeking an experienced Cyber Security Consultant to play a pivotal role within our Operational Integrator (OI) function, supporting a major transition to a multi-supplier (SIAM) model for our Central Government Client. You will be responsible for understanding, aligning, and governing existing high-severity security incident management and vulnerability management processes across suppliers.
Key Responsibilities:
- Governance & Process Alignment: Lead the review, standardisation, and governance of multi-supplier processes for high-severity incidents (S3/S4) and vulnerabilities. Establish severity thresholds, exception workflows, and prioritisation frameworks (e.g., CVSS, KEV, EPSS).
- Supplier Coordination (SIAM): Act as the core integration point across multiple suppliers, resolving process maturity gaps and driving consistent outputs without redesigning underlying operational models.
- Incident Management Governance: Oversee the end-to-end lifecycle of S3/S4 incidents, ensuring suppliers meet escalation, communication, and reporting expectations while defining the required visibility over SOC outputs.
- Vulnerability Lifecycle Governance: Track vulnerabilities from identification through to remediation or formal risk acceptance. Monitor SLA adherence, asset coverage gaps, and non-patchable legacy systems.
- Evidence & Audit Assurance: Define and align audit-ready evidence requirements across both domains, ensuring all outputs are traceable to risks and controls in line with ISMS standards.
- Transition Support & Reporting: Deliver clear, evidence based reporting to governance forums and establish a solid baseline for a seamless handover to BAU.
Essential Skills & Experience:
- SC Clearance must be active.
- Proven background in security incident management, vulnerability management, or cyber governance roles.
- Deep understanding of the complete incident management lifecycle (detect, respond, recover) and vulnerability lifecycle (identify, prioritise, remediate, validate).
- Demonstrable experience operating effectively within multi-supplier or SIAM environments.
- Ability to interpret and govern outputs from SOC and vulnerability tooling without needing direct hands-on platform access.
- Strong stakeholder management capabilities, with desirable experience in Defence, highly regulated sectors, or frameworks such as NIST CSF, NCSC, ITIL, and ISMS audit processes.
