Are you ready to take your expertise in business process analysis to the next level? Our client is looking for a skilled Business Process Analyst specialising in Cyber Security to join their team on a temporary basis. In this role, you will play a crucial part in developing a new overarching cybersecurity controls framework that will unify processes across the organisation.

Role Overview:
The primary focus of this position is to design a comprehensive cybersecurity controls framework tailored for a large enterprise. This framework will integrate key areas such as Identity and Access Management, Penetration Testing, and System Security, serving as a robust governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) structure. Other frameworks, including CAF, PCI, and ISO, will nest under this new framework, enhancing the organisation's overall security posture.

Key Characteristics:
Business Process Orientation: Your role will emphasise aligning processes, terminology, and roles across the organisation.
Systems Thinking: You will leverage systems thinking to create a framework that is scalable and effective for a large enterprise environment.

Stakeholder Engagement: You will collaborate with managers and operators of processes, as well as engage with senior-level stakeholders when necessary.

Skills & Experience:
Organisational Experience: A strong background in large organisations is essential; experience in small businesses may not translate effectively to this role.
Industry Background: While experience in telecommunications is preferred, candidates with a background in banking or other regulated sectors at an enterprise scale are also encouraged to apply.
Business Analysis Expertise: A focus on business analysis and process design within the cybersecurity GRC domain is crucial, rather than deep technical expertise.

Additional Details:
In this role, you will also help gather requirements for security tooling and coordinate improvements across cybersecurity processes.

If you are a strategic thinker with a passion for aligning business processes within the cybersecurity landscape, we want to hear from you! Join us in making a significant impact on the organisation's cybersecurity framework.

We look forward to receiving your application!

Maths for Cyber Security Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for cyber security jobs in the UK it can feel like “real security people” must be brilliant at maths. The reality is simpler: most roles do not need degree-level pure maths. What they do need is confidence with a small set of practical topics that show up repeatedly in day-to-day work across SOC, incident response, cloud security, AppSec, threat detection, IAM & security engineering. This guide strips the maths down to what actually helps you get hired. It includes a 6-week learning plan plus portfolio projects you can publish to prove the skills. You will focus on: Number systems & bitwise thinking (binary, hex, bytes, XOR) Modular arithmetic basics (enough to understand how modern crypto “works”) Probability & statistics for detection, triage & risk Discrete maths for logic, sets, graphs & complexity Security maths habits: estimation, false positive control & evidence-led reporting You will not waste time on heavy theory that rarely appears in junior or mid-level cyber security roles.

Neurodiversity in Cyber Security Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Cyber security is all about thinking like an attacker, spotting unusual patterns, protecting systems & responding calmly when everything looks like it’s on fire. It’s a discipline built on curiosity, persistence & noticing things other people miss. That’s exactly why it can be such a good fit for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a security role. In reality, the traits that can make traditional office work tough often line up beautifully with cyber security work – from hyperfocus in incident response to meticulous analysis in threat hunting. This guide is written for cyber security job seekers in the UK. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in a cyber context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to different security roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence during applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in cyber security – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.
