Security Architect – £650-£700 p/d – 12 months - Inside IR35 – Mostly Remote

Looking to speak with Security Solution Architects to support a large portfolio of business and technology projects, providing security architecture expertise that enables delivery while managing risk effectively.

We're particularly interested in candidates with experience in:

• Providing pragmatic security advice on business and technology projects
• Reviewing and assuring technical designs and solutions
• Engaging with stakeholders at all levels, from engineers through to senior leadership
• Balancing security, operational and business requirements
