• Analyse logs, alerts, and threats to proactively detect and investigate potential security incidents.
• Communicate effectively with technical and non‑technical stakeholders, providing clear updates on incidents, risks, and compliance requirements.
• Deliver training programmes to enhance incident response readiness and compliance awareness across the organisation.
• Stay current with industry regulations, best practices, and emerging threats to maintain robust incident response and compliance capabilities.
• Identify and drive continuous improvement initiatives within the incident response framework and SOC compliance processes.

Qualifications & Skills

• 2–5 years of experience working in a SOC environment, including hands‑on incident response.
• Practical experience with other DFIR tools or forensic analysis methodologies.
• Proficiency with SIEM solutions (e.g., RSA NetWitness, QRadar, ArcSight, Splunk).
• Familiarity with Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) tools (e.g., RSA Archer).
• Demonstrable analytical and problem‑solving skills with attention to detail.
• Excellent communication skills to engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
• Relevant certifications such as CISA, CISSP, or CISM are a plus.
• Incident handling or forensics certifications (e.g., GCIH, GCFA, GCFE, EnCE).
• Familiarity with incident response frameworks (e.g., NIST SP 800‑61, SANS).
• Experience with scripting languages (e.g., VBA, Python) for automation and analysis will be advantageous.
