Digital Forensics Consultant
7 days ago
Pentest People is a UK-based security consultancy specialising in providing Penetration Testing as a Service to all its clients. Our innovative approach to security testing merges the benefits of consultant-led penetration testing with ongoing vulnerability assurance through our advanced SecurePortal. This provides clients with a continuous, living threat management system throughout the duration of the contract, rather than a single point-in-time assessment.
We are expanding our Incident Response team and are looking for a Digital Forensics Consultant**to join us in tackling some of the most challenging cybersecurity threats. This role requires strong analytical thinking, excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to perform in a fast-paced environment.
As part of our dynamic team, you’ll play a critical role in mitigating cyberattacks and enhancing our clients’ security posture to prevent future incidents.
**Key Responsibilities**:
- Participate in live IR operations, including digital forensics and data acquisition.
- Perform security assessments, threat intelligence gathering, and OSINT analysis.
- Collaborate with internal teams to deliver a holistic cybersecurity service.
- Engage with clients regularly to collect relevant logs and gain infrastructure access for investigations.
- Thoroughly document incidents — including timelines, impacted systems, actions taken, and improvement recommendations.
- Conduct initial incident assessments and support ongoing Incident Response (IR) management.
- Prepare clear, well-structured reports for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
**Technical Skills**:
- Some experience in incident response and investigation using tools like SIEM, SOAR, and EDR platforms.
- Proficiency in digital forensics and log analysis across Networking, Windows, Mac, Linux, or Cloud environments.
- Strong understanding of evidence collection and prioritisation procedures.
- Knowledge of NIST 800-61 incident response lifecycle, including containment, eradication, and recovery.
- Experience in digital forensics, including evidence acquisition and chain-of-custody practices.
- Familiarity with frameworks such as MITRE ATTACK, Lockheed Martin Kill Chain, or the Diamond Model.
- Knowledge of open-source IR tools such as Velociraptor or Volatility, is preferred.
**Desirable Qualifications**:
- Industry certifications such as ECIH, Security+, BTL1, CySA+, or SC-200 are a plus.
**About You**
- Experienced in managing stakeholders during live incidents to minimise disruption.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to stay calm and effective under pressure.
- Able to align client deliverables with industry best practices.
- Skilled in proactive threat intelligence and analysis to support IR operations.
- Proactive, responsible, and eager to contribute to the growth of the Incident Response team.
If you have experience in digital forensics and are eager to build on your expertise in Incident Response, this role offers the perfect opportunity to grow and take your skills to the next level.
