In total, we look after over 400,000 members across the PPF and FAS. With over £30 billion in assets under management, our investments support long-term economic growth across the UK.

The Information Compliance Associate plays a vital role in safeguarding trust across our organisation. Within this role you will help ensure that the way we collect, use, and manage personal information reflects our commitment to integrity, transparency, and respect for individual rights.

Acting as an advocate for responsible data practices, you will provide expert guidance across the organisation, empowering teams to manage personal data in line with legal, regulatory, and ethical expectations.

The ideal candidate will bring experience working within data protection compliance and/or Freedom of Information environments, with a solid grounding in UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act from both a regulatory and practical standpoint. A recognised compliance or data protection qualification, or equivalent experience demonstrating deep understanding, will support your ability to interpret legislation and apply it effectively across a complex organisation. Experience using technology to streamline DSAR, FOI or other compliance processes is essential, as you will play a key role in helping us modernise and strengthen our information governance workflows.

You’ll build strong relationships at every level, earning trust while confidently challenging practices that need to change. Clear and persuasive in both writing and speech, you will have the ability to turn complex regulatory requirements into simple, practical guidance that teams can act on. Your analytical skills help you quickly spot risks, assess proposals and understand their impact on information rights, ensuring compliance remains central to how we operate.

This is a role for someone who enjoys problem-solving, building relationships, and influencing positive change—while ensuring our organisation continues to meet its obligations under UK GDPR, FOI legislation, and wider information rights requirements.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
