• Supporting organisations in securing Operational Technology and Industrial Control Systems

• Working with SCADA, PLCs, RTUs and Distributed Control Systems
• Supporting clients with compliance against industry frameworks and standards
• Assessing and improving industrial cyber security monitoring capabilities
• Working alongside multidisciplinary teams to solve complex operational and security challenges
• Helping critical infrastructure operators improve resilience against emerging cyber threats

• NIST Cyber Security Framework
• IEC 62443 / ISA-99
• NERC CIP

Interested?

If you're looking for a role that combines cyber security, critical infrastructure and consulting, while giving you exposure to a broad range of technologies and industries, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team where you'll work on meaningful projects, develop specialist expertise and help secure some of the UK's most important operational environments.
