Defence Cyber Certification & Cyber Essentials Assessor
We are seeking a Defence Cyber Certification & Cyber Essentials Assessor to support the evaluation, certification and continuous improvement of cyber security controls across a range of defence-related suppliers, systems and services. You will assess organisations against Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus requirements, contribute to broader cyber assurance activities, and provide clear, practical guidance to help clients address identified risks. This is an opportunity for an experienced cyber security professional to work with varied stakeholders in a role that combines technical assessment, evidence review, risk analysis and customer engagement.
Key responsibilities will include planning and conducting assessments, reviewing technical and procedural evidence, validating security configurations, identifying vulnerabilities and control weaknesses, and producing accurate, well-structured reports. You will explain findings to both technical and non-technical audiences, agree appropriate remediation actions, and monitor progress where required. The role will also involve maintaining assessment records, supporting quality assurance and peer review, contributing to the development of assessment methodologies, and keeping up to date with changes to Cyber Essentials, defence security requirements, relevant legislation and recognised industry standards. Occasional travel to customer sites may be required.
Applicants should have demonstrable experience in cyber security assessment, auditing, vulnerability management, information assurance or a closely related discipline, together with a sound understanding of Cyber Essentials principles and practical IT security controls. Experience of assessing cloud services, networks, endpoints, identity and access management, secure configuration and incident response would be advantageous. Professional certifications such as Cyber Essentials Assessor, CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, CREST or equivalent are welcomed. You will need excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong attention to detail, sound professional judgement and the ability to manage competing priorities independently. Due to the nature of the work, eligibility to obtain and maintain appropriate security clearance may be required.
