ISO 27001 Consultant & Auditor – Defence Cyber Certification
We are seeking an experienced ISO 27001 Consultant & Auditor to support organisations operating in the defence and wider security-sensitive sectors. This role will involve helping clients establish, improve and maintain robust information security management systems (ISMS) aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 and relevant defence cyber certification requirements. You will work with stakeholders at all levels to assess current controls, identify risks and develop practical, proportionate solutions that meet regulatory, contractual and operational expectations.
Key responsibilities will include planning and delivering ISO 27001 gap assessments, internal audits, readiness reviews and certification support engagements. You will document findings, assess corrective actions and provide clear, evidence-based reports for technical and executive audiences. The role will also involve supporting risk assessments, Statement of Applicability development, security policy reviews, control implementation, audit preparation and the ongoing improvement of management systems. You may contribute to defence-focused cyber assurance activities, including interpreting applicable security frameworks, supply-chain requirements and customer-specific certification standards. Building trusted relationships with clients, managing assigned engagements and maintaining accurate project documentation will be important parts of the position.
Applicants should have substantial experience working with ISO/IEC 27001, preferably across consultancy, internal audit or certification-readiness environments. A recognised ISO 27001 Lead Auditor or Lead Implementer qualification is expected, together with a strong understanding of information security governance, risk management, control design and audit methodology. Experience within defence, government, critical national infrastructure or other regulated environments would be advantageous, as would familiarity with cyber assurance schemes and secure supply-chain requirements.
