Are you passionate about Information Security Compliance we are seeking a proactive and knowledgeable Information Security Compliance Analyst. This role is pivotal in helping us maintain ISO27001, implement and maintain cyber policies, and deliver key phases of our Cyber Essentials Programme.

About the Role

Join us as an Information Security Compliance Analyst and play a key role in protecting our information assets, identifying and mitigating security risks, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Reporting to the Information Security Compliance Manager, you’ll support internal reviews, audits, and awareness initiatives, and help maintain compliance with standards like ISO 27001, NIS, PCI, and GDPR.

Why is compliance important?

Regular internal audits not only ensure ongoing certification but also drive continual improvement and resilience in our information security practices.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Plan, conduct, and document internal ISO 27001 audits across all areas of the Information Security Management System (ISMS), ensuring all controls and processes are regularly reviewed for effectiveness and compliance

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of information security policies, procedures, and controls, and identify areas for improvement or non-compliance.

  • Develop and maintain an annual audit schedule to ensure comprehensive coverage of ISO 27001 requirements and continual improvement of the ISMS.

  • Collaborate with stakeholders to gather evidence, address audit findings, and implement corrective actions to close compliance gaps.

  • Promote information security awareness and a positive security culture throughout the organisation.

  • Support security testing, including penetration tests and vulnerability scans.

  • Ensure third-party contracts meet security requirements.

  • Maintain compliance with relevant standards and legislation.

  • Support policy and procedure development.

    What We Are Looking For:

  • Full UK driving licence

  • Strong understanding of information security principles, cyber threats, and risk management

  • Familiarity and experience with ISO 27001 standard

  • Experience of performing audits and producing reports

  • Ability to influence and build relationships across all levels of the organisation

  • A collaborative, self-motivated approach with strong organisational skills.

  • Experience with ISO 27001, NIST, or Cyber Essentials

  • Eligible for UK Government Security Clearance (SC)

    Why You'll Love Working With Us:

  • We know that the support and commitment of our staff is key to our success so you will receive the opportunity for ongoing development and training for a long-term career with us. In return, we offer an excellent range of benefits including:

  • Generous holiday allowance plus bank holidays

  • A discretionary Bonus

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.

If you are considering a career in this field—or looking to advance within it—it is essential to understand what employers are really looking for in 2026. This guide breaks down the current expectations, required skills, certifications, and practical experience that can help you stand out in a competitive job market.
