They are an impressive technical team with a genuinely collaborative culture who have the full backing from management to deliver nothing but value adding testing. (No tick box assessments)

We want to hear from those who have ideas and are eager to contribute to and improve both existing and new service lines.

What you'll do:

  • Deliver advanced penetration tests across varying environments (web app, inf, cloud)
  • Play a key role in new and existing service line development.
  • Collaborate with a team of brilliant minds to contribute to in-house testing methodologies.
  • Stay ahead of emerging threats and continuously sharpen your skills
  • Continuously attain industry recognised certifications. (with support, of course)
  • Play a part in the mentoring (not management) of junior penetration testers.
  • Assist in Pre-Sales activities, including scoping.


What We're Looking For:

  • 4 Years of commercial penetration testing experience.
  • An excellent knowledge of web application technologies.
  • Cloud assessment experience and an enthusiasm for cloud security. (highly desirable)

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.
