Introduction:

Are you a cybersecurity expert with the ability to design and implement security strategies that protect organizations from evolving cyber threats? Do you thrive on solving complex security challenges and advising clients on best practices to strengthen their defenses? If you're a strategic thinker who loves guiding companies through the intricate world of cybersecurity, then our client has an exciting opportunity for you. We’re searching for a Cybersecurity Consultant (aka The Security Strategist) to help our clients protect their digital assets and navigate the ever-changing threat landscape.

Imagine being the trusted advisor that organizations rely on to protect their most sensitive data and systems. As a Cybersecurity Consultant at our client, you’ll work directly with clients to assess their security posture, design tailored security solutions, and ensure compliance with industry standards. This role isn’t just about identifying vulnerabilities—it’s about building long-term security strategies that empower clients to stay ahead of the threats.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Security Assessments and Audits:
  • Conduct thorough security assessments and audits of client environments to identify vulnerabilities, risks, and compliance gaps. You’ll provide detailed reports with actionable recommendations to improve security postures.
  • Cybersecurity Strategy Development:
    • Develop and implement comprehensive cybersecurity strategies for clients, including risk management frameworks, threat modeling, and security policies. You’ll tailor solutions that align with the client’s business goals while ensuring robust protection.
  • Incident Response Planning and Support:
    • Assist clients in developing and refining incident response plans, ensuring they are prepared to detect, contain, and respond to cyberattacks. You’ll provide guidance during actual incidents, helping clients recover quickly and minimize damage.
  • Compliance and Regulatory Guidance:
    • Provide expert advice on industry regulations and compliance standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001. You’ll ensure that clients are meeting regulatory requirements and implementing security controls that reduce risk.
  • Security Architecture and Solution Design:
    • Design and implement security architectures and solutions that protect client systems, networks, and applications. You’ll ensure that security measures are integrated into IT infrastructures, including identity management, encryption, and network security.
  • Risk Management and Threat Analysis:
    • Perform risk assessments and threat analyses to identify potential attack vectors and weaknesses. You’ll help clients prioritize risks and develop mitigation strategies to reduce the likelihood and impact of cyberattacks.
  • Client Education and Training:
    • Provide training and awareness programs to educate client teams on cybersecurity best practices, threat awareness, and incident response. You’ll foster a security-first mindset across all departments of the organization.

Requirements

Required Skills:

  • Cybersecurity Expertise: Deep understanding of security frameworks, threat landscapes, and best practices, including experience with network security, encryption, identity management, and incident response.
  • Consulting Experience: Proven experience in cybersecurity consulting, with a track record of assessing security postures and developing strategic security solutions tailored to client needs.
  • Risk Management and Compliance Knowledge: Strong background in risk assessment, threat modeling, and regulatory compliance, with experience guiding clients through compliance challenges (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS).
  • Incident Response and Recovery Skills: Experience in developing incident response plans and guiding clients through real-world cyberattacks. You’re calm under pressure and skilled at coordinating rapid response efforts.
  • Communication Skills: Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to present complex security concepts to clients and stakeholders. You’re a trusted advisor who can explain technical security issues in simple terms.
  • Analytical and Strategic Thinking: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down complex security challenges and develop long-term strategies that protect clients against future threats.
  • Humor: A great sense of humor, because we believe in fostering a productive and enjoyable work environment. If you can navigate tough security discussions while keeping clients at ease, you’re our kind of consultant.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field. Equivalent experience with a proven track record in cybersecurity consulting is also valued.
  • Certifications such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), or similar are highly desirable.

Experience Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity consulting, with hands-on experience in developing security strategies, conducting audits, and advising clients on risk management.
  • Proven experience in working across various industries, particularly in sectors with high-security demands such as finance, healthcare, and government.
  • Experience working with security frameworks and tools such as NIST, ISO 27001, SIEM systems, and vulnerability assessment platforms.

Benefits

  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
  • Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
  • Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs.
  • Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources.
