Cyber Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced Cyber Security Architect to design, develop and maintain secure technology environments across a complex organisation. You will define security architecture principles, reference models and standards, ensuring that security is embedded into business change, cloud adoption, application development, infrastructure and operational processes. Working closely with technology, risk, compliance and delivery teams, you will translate business requirements into practical, resilient and cost-effective security solutions.
Your responsibilities will include assessing current and proposed architectures, identifying cyber risks and vulnerabilities, and recommending appropriate controls and mitigations. You will contribute to security strategies, threat modelling, architecture reviews, technical assurance and solution design, while supporting the implementation of identity and access management, network security, cloud controls, data protection, endpoint security and security monitoring capabilities. You will also maintain architecture documentation, contribute to security policies and standards, and provide clear guidance to technical and non-technical stakeholders. The role may involve supporting incident response, regulatory assessments, audits and continuous improvement initiatives.
To be successful, you will have proven experience in cyber security architecture, security engineering or a related technical discipline, together with a strong understanding of enterprise architecture and secure design principles. You should be confident working across cloud and on-premises environments and familiar with recognised frameworks and standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, SABSA or equivalent. Knowledge of modern security technologies, risk management, secure software development and regulatory requirements is essential. Relevant professional certifications, such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, SABSA or cloud security certifications, are desirable. Strong communication, stakeholder management, analytical and problem-solving skills are required, alongside the ability to influence decisions and explain complex security matters clearly.
