Senior Security Consultant-Data Security
We are seeking a Senior Security Consultant specialising in Data Security to provide expert advice and practical solutions across a range of complex security initiatives. This is an opportunity to work with varied stakeholders, assess information security risks and help organisations protect sensitive data throughout its lifecycle.
You will lead and contribute to data security assessments, developing recommendations that align with business objectives, regulatory requirements and recognised industry standards. Responsibilities will include reviewing data classification and handling practices, advising on data loss prevention, encryption, access controls, identity and access management, cloud security and secure data architecture.
The role will involve conducting risk assessments, gap analyses and security reviews, as well as producing clear reports, policies, standards and remediation plans. You will support the implementation of data protection controls, help investigate and respond to security incidents, and provide guidance on improving monitoring, governance and compliance. You will also contribute to client engagements by facilitating workshops, presenting findings to senior audiences and mentoring less experienced consultants.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in information or data security, ideally gained within a consultancy, professional services or similarly complex environment. You should have a strong understanding of data protection principles, information security risk management and relevant frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS. Familiarity with UK and international privacy regulations, including the UK GDPR, would be advantageous.
Experience across cloud platforms, security tooling, data discovery, data classification, DLP or security architecture is desirable. Professional qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, SABSA, or a recognised data protection certification would be beneficial.
You will need excellent analytical, communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to explain technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A proactive, pragmatic approach, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. The role may involve occasional travel and collaboration with distributed teams.
