What are we looking for

We're looking for someone who enjoys working with clients, has strong technical knowledge and can confidently assess a variety of IT environments against Cyber Essentials requirements. You'll be comfortable engaging with organisations of different sizes, analysing security controls and providing practical recommendations that balance security, business needs and compliance requirements and have a passion for cyber security with a desire to continue developing your technical expertise within a highly skilled team.
