A leading professional services organisation is looking for an Information Security Officer with strong governance, risk, and compliance experience. This is a standalone role with real ownership — ideal for someone ready to step up and shape a growing security function.
The Role

  • Build and mature security frameworks (ISO 27001, CE+, NIST, SOC 2)
  • Lead gap analysis and audit readiness
  • Own the security risk register and drive mitigation
  • Develop policies, standards, and procedures
  • Support ISO 22301/business continuity
  • Coordinate internal/external audits and evidence gathering
  • Manage vendor risk and customer due‑diligence requests
  • Provide independent governance oversight (separate from IT Ops)
    About You
  • Strong experience with ISO 27001 (Annex 8), CE+, and risk management
  • Background in audits, incident response, and governance documentation
  • Confident working with Compliance, IT, and external partners
  • Able to own initiatives and work independently
  • Pragmatic, collaborative, and business‑minded
    Why Apply?
  • High visibility and autonomy
  • Opportunity to shape security governance during transformation
  • Supportive, flexible culture
  • Clear progression for someone wanting more ownership

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

Advertising cyber security jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.
