Security Design Consultant
We are seeking a Security Design Consultant to provide expert guidance on the design, development and implementation of secure systems, services and environments. You will work closely with technical teams, project managers and business stakeholders to ensure that security is embedded throughout the solution lifecycle, from initial concept and requirements gathering through to delivery and ongoing improvement.
Your responsibilities will include producing security architectures, design principles, technical specifications and risk assessments. You will review proposed solutions, identify vulnerabilities and recommend proportionate controls across areas such as identity and access management, infrastructure, applications, networks, cloud services and data protection. You will also support security governance, contribute to design assurance reviews and ensure that solutions align with relevant policies, standards, legislation and industry good practice.
The role will involve explaining complex security matters clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, challenging assumptions constructively and helping delivery teams balance security, usability, cost and operational requirements. You may also contribute to threat modelling, security testing, incident learning, third-party assessments and the development of reusable patterns, standards and guidance. Maintaining accurate documentation and tracking risks through to resolution will be an important part of the position.
You should have proven experience in security architecture, secure solution design or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of contemporary cyber security risks and controls. Experience across cloud and on-premises environments, application security, network security and risk management would be advantageous. Familiarity with recognised frameworks and standards, such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls or SABSA, is desirable. Excellent communication, stakeholder management and analytical skills are essential, alongside the ability to manage competing priorities and work collaboratively in a changing environment. Relevant professional certifications or demonstrable equivalent experience would be welcomed.
