You will work alongside our cyber security experts to spot digital and technology security risks and help identify the right controls to develop systems, processes, and culture to keep data safe.

You will help our clients build the resilience they need to get back to business with minimum financial and reputational loss when a cyber-attack does succeed.

Disclaimer: Some of our UK roles at PA Consulting require a UK security clearance.

All PA people are required to undergo background checks and to achieve the Baseline Personnel Security Standard; however, some UK roles also require higher levels of National Security Vetting, where applicants must have at least 5 years of continuous residency in the UK.

We therefore ask that you only apply if you meet the residency requirements (i.e. you are a British citizen or have been resident in the UK for the past 5 years), as this is the prerequisite for a security clearance. If you\'re unsure about your eligibility, we encourage you to review the UK Government’s guidance on security vetting before applying.
