Our innovative approach to security testing merges the benefits of consultant-led penetration testing with ongoing vulnerability assurance through our advanced SecurePortal.

We provide a wide range of Advisory & Compliance Services designed to meet the unique requirements of our clients. As the landscape of compliance grows more complex and critical, organisations are confronted with the challenge of navigating an expanding web of regulations. With our continued business growth, we are seeking a Cyber Essentials Assessor to join our team.

The successful candidate will be responsible for assessing client organisations to verify their compliance with the Cyber Essentials scheme, offering recommendations for necessary improvements, and issuing certifications upon successful completion.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Assess client organisations cyber security posture against the Cyber Essentials criteria.
  • Provide clear, actionable feedback to clients on areas requiring improvement to meet certification standards.
  • Award Cyber Essentials certifications to organisations that meet the necessary requirements.
  • Stay informed of any updates or changes to the Cyber Essentials scheme and its criteria.
  • Work closely with clients to understand their specific needs and customise assessments accordingly.
  • Produce comprehensive reports detailing assessment results and improvement recommendations.
  • Engage in continuous training and professional development to maintain assessor credentials.

Technical skills:

  • At least 3 years of experience in IT or cyber security roles.
  • Certified Cyber Essentials Assessor qualification, with successful completion of IASME Cyber Essentials training and exam (nice to have).
  • In-depth understanding of cyber security principles and the Cyber Essentials framework.
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to convey technical information to non-technical audiences.
  • Ability to work autonomously and manage multiple assessments at once.
  • Familiarity with various IT infrastructures and security technologies.

About you:

  • Experience working with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
  • Proactive and detail-oriented professional with a passion for cyber security and helping organisations enhance their digital resilience.
  • You are a skilled communicator, capable of breaking down complex cyber security concepts into clear, understandable terms for clients at all levels.
  • You are committed to continuous learning and staying current with industry trends, best practices, and evolving regulatory requirements.

This role will require occasional visits to client sites and the office as needed. Candidates must be based in the UK and have the right to work, as we are unable to provide sponsorship at this time.
