Cyber Security Architect

Cyber Security Architect Up to £75,000, Warwickshire | 2 Days Per Week Want to design security solutions that protect some of the UK's most critical environments? This is an opportunity to join a specialist cyber security consultancy where your work will go far beyond maintaining an existing security estate.

As a Cyber Security Architect , you'll work directly with customers to understand complex security challenges, identify where their current capabilities fall short and design practical, secure architectures that help them reduce risk and strengthen their overall cyber resilience.

What makes this opportunity particularly interesting is the customer base. A significant proportion of the organisations you'll support operate within Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) and other highly regulated, security-conscious environments.

That means the architecture you design matters.

You'll also be involved in technology reviews and selection , assessing security products and capabilities without being tied to a particular vendor. Depending on the customer and project, you could find yourself working across cloud security, network security, Zero Trust, Identity and Access Management, Microsoft security technologies and wider enterprise security architecture .You'll also help customers align their security approach with recognised frameworks and standards including NIST and ISO 27001 .This isn't a role where you'll spend all your time producing architecture diagrams in isolation.

You'll need to be comfortable getting in front of customers, challenging requirements where appropriate and explaining technical risks and recommendations to people who may not have a technical security background. What are we looking for?
