Senior Cyber Security Consultant
2 days ago
Department: Consultancy
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: London
Description
As a Senior Cyber Security Consultant at Actica, you will provide support to a wide range of high-profile UK public sector and defence organisations. Your help will enable them to protect their ICT investments, and in doing so play a key role in nationally critical projects which make a real difference to people’s everyday lives.
Responsibilities
Working either individually or as part of a larger Actica team, you will undertake a number of varying consultancy assignments. Due to the potential variety in assignments your responsibilities may well depend on your own breadth of experience and could range from developing security architectures, to providing guidance on GRC activities. Other responsibilities could include:
- Providing security expertise for major system procurements and Agile programmes;
- Identifying, analysing and evaluating information risks across a range of programmes, projects and systems;
- Explaining to risk owners and other stakeholders the causes, likelihood and potential business impacts of information risks throughout the information system lifecycle;
- 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 performance will determine the amount or responsibility given to you, giving you the potential to quickly lead assignments and be responsible for supervising direct reports whilst ensuring the overall success of the engagement.
Qualifications and Experience
We work predominantly within the UK Defence and Public Sectors, because of this experience within those sectors is desirable, preferably within the ICT context on enterprise solutions. The fast-moving nature of the ICT environment, together with the need to resource multiple, ad-hoc assignments, also requires our consultants to be quick thinkers, proactive and self-motivated – with the ability to apply a structured approach to often unfamiliar subject matter.
It is essential that you have the following experience:
- At least five years’ experience of complex ICT systems in a technical delivery or consulting capacity;
- A good understanding of enterprise information and communications technology;
- The ability to present and justify conclusions to project teams and business stakeholders;
- Proven abilities in delivering to client expectations and requirements;
- Strong verbal and written communications skills.
Knowledge of or a desire to learn more about the following would be beneficial for the role:
- Structured security frameworks, such as HMG SPF and ISO27001;
- Security, technical and enterprise architecture methods such as TOGAF and SABSA;
- Technical risk assessments;
- Enterprise security packages.
The nature of Actica’s business means that a wide and varied background is preferable and the capability to adapt quickly to change is always required.
You will be given the opportunity to undertake a variety of roles throughout the project lifecycle, working across a wide-ranging set of clients and cutting-edge technologies. This could include providing projects with advice and guidance on Information Assurance topics; contributing to the development of IA strategies, policies, guidance and awareness; planning and managing the delivery of a security work programme; defining security requirements; designing and implementing security architectures; or overseeing the secure development and accreditation of information systems.
Our position as a client-side advisor means that your role will involve significant stakeholder engagement, dealing directly with the client, including in resolving day-day issues involved in assignment delivery and developing follow-on opportunities, so excellent interpersonal and influencing skills are essential.
Career Development
You will have the opportunity to further your career in consulting, specialising in the application of information assurance and cyber security expertise to a wide range of business problems.
Benefits
- A discretionary, performance-based bonus, paid twice a year;
- 25 days annual leave plus UK public holidays;
- Private Health Care for the employee (subject to completion of a probation period);
- Twice yearly performance appraisals/pay reviews (while at Consultant and Senior Consultant grades, annually thereafter);
- Investment in training relevant to an individual’s development and Actica’s business needs;
- Membership in our stakeholder pension scheme;
- Participation in a cycle to work scheme;
- Membership of an Employee Assistance Programme;
- Participation in an Electric Vehicle leasing scheme (subject to completion of a probation period).
