We’re looking for an experienced and driven Cyber Security Consultant to join our growing security practice at Wanstor. The Security Consultant will be pivotal in helping customers understand their cyber risks and put the right controls in place. You’ll combine customer consultancy with hands-on security work across Wanstor’s hosted and managed environments and our customers’ own networks. You might spend one day investigating a security alert or reviewing a vulnerability scan, and the next helping a customer agree what to fix first or implementing a new security tool. You’ll also help shape new cyber security and data protection services based on what customers need.
What You'll Do
- Monitor and investigate security alerts, coordinating the response to incidents across our customer base.
- Run vulnerability scans and assess systems against security benchmarks. Explain the findings to customers and work with technical teams to prioritise and track remediation.
- Advise customers on their security requirements, turn those requirements into practical delivery plans and help maintain systems in line with relevant security accreditations.
- Implement, configure and improve customer security tools, including SIEM and vulnerability management platforms.
- Build and maintain security playbooks, processes, policies and technical documentation. Share practical guidance with customers and colleagues to improve how they manage security
Ideal Experience
- Hands-on experience investigating or managing security incidents using Microsoft Defender.
- Experience using vulnerability scanners and SIEM tools, with the ability to interpret findings and explain what action is needed.
- A solid grounding in security risk management, identity and access management, and security assessment and testing.
- Familiarity with ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials and GDPR requirements.
- The ability to explain technical risks clearly to customers and manage competing priorities across multiple engagements.
