Principal Information Security Consultant (Day rate Contract)
We are seeking an experienced Principal Information Security Consultant for a day-rate contract supporting the delivery of strategic information security, risk and assurance initiatives. The successful candidate will provide expert guidance to senior stakeholders, helping to strengthen security capability, manage information and technology risks, and ensure that appropriate controls are embedded across business and technical change.
Responsibilities will include leading security assessments, reviewing architectures and designs, and providing pragmatic recommendations aligned with recognised industry standards and regulatory expectations. You will advise on risk treatment, security governance, policies, standards and operating models, while supporting the development of security strategies, roadmaps and improvement plans. The role will also involve assessing third-party and supplier risks, contributing to incident and issue management, reviewing control effectiveness, and producing clear reports for both technical and non-technical audiences. You may be required to lead workshops, challenge existing approaches and mentor less experienced security professionals.
Applicants should have significant experience in information security consulting, security architecture, governance, risk and compliance, or a closely related discipline. You will need a strong understanding of security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls or equivalent, together with experience of risk assessment, control design and assurance activity. Excellent stakeholder management, communication and influencing skills are essential, as is the ability to work independently and deliver high-quality outcomes in a complex, fast-paced environment. Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, SABSA or equivalent are desirable. This is a contract opportunity requiring availability to work on a day-rate basis, with the potential for hybrid or remote delivery depending on project requirements.
