We are a National Cyber Security Centre Assured Cyber Security Consultancy.

Locations: London, Guildford, Bristol, M4 corridor

  • Authoring and/or supporting the development of security assurance documentation in accordance with risk management frameworks;
  • Developing or reviewing new security architectures that mitigate the risks posed by new technologies and business practices;
  • Scoping security testing activities, and explaining the results and required remediation.

Your level of experience will determine the amount or responsibility given to you, as a result you may also have the opportunity to lead assignments and be responsible for supervising direct reports whilst ensuring the overall success of the engagement.
