Security Operations Analyst, UK
We are seeking a Security Operations Analyst to support the monitoring, investigation and response activities of a security operations function in the UK. You will help protect business systems, data and users by identifying potential threats, assessing risk and coordinating appropriate responses. The role involves working across a fast-paced environment where attention to detail, sound judgement and clear communication are essential.
Key responsibilities include monitoring security alerts from SIEM, endpoint protection, identity and network security platforms; triaging and investigating suspected incidents; gathering and analysing relevant logs and evidence; and escalating confirmed or high-risk events in line with established procedures. You will contribute to incident response, threat detection and vulnerability management activities, while maintaining accurate case records and producing clear technical reports. The role will also involve supporting security investigations, identifying recurring issues, recommending improvements to controls and procedures, and assisting with the development of detection rules, playbooks and operational documentation. You may occasionally participate in an out-of-hours or on-call support rota.
Applicants should have practical experience in a security operations, cyber defence, incident response or similar role, with a good understanding of security monitoring and common attack techniques. Experience using SIEM, EDR or related security tooling is desirable, as is familiarity with networking, authentication, cloud services, Windows and Linux environments. Relevant qualifications such as Security+, CySA+, SC-200, or equivalent professional experience would be advantageous. You should be able to analyse information methodically, prioritise competing tasks and explain technical matters to both technical and non-technical colleagues. A proactive approach, commitment to continuous learning and the ability to handle sensitive information professionally are essential. This opportunity may require eligibility for relevant background screening and the right to work in the UK.
