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.

- 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
