Senior Information Security Consultant – Business Transformation

12-month assignment, Inside IR35, £750 - £800 per day, Hybrid (mainly home working)


A major infrastructure operator is embarking on a complex business and technology transformation—and they need a senior security consultant to ensure these initiatives are secure by design. This 12-month assignment (with strong extension potential) is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of security assurance and enterprise change.


Acting as the security SME embedded within delivery teams, you’ll provide hands-on, pragmatic guidance across a portfolio of digital projects—shaping architecture, guiding risk decisions, and ensuring compliance with internal standards and the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework.


This is an advisory role with depth: you’ll translate complex technical risks into business terms, engage senior stakeholders in proportionate decision-making, and help drive secure outcomes across platforms including Salesforce, Oracle, and AWS. (Salesforce experience highly advantageous)


Key Responsibilities:

  • Deliver end-to-end security assurance across high-impact transformation projects
  • Conduct threat modelling, risk assessments, and architecture reviews to validate secure-by-design principles
  • Translate cyber risks into business impacts—enabling stakeholders to make balanced, cost-aware decisions
  • Support compliance with internal policies and the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF)
  • Collaborate with business and technical leads to embed security into the delivery lifecycle


Candidate Profile:

  • At least 5 years’ experience in cyber security consultancy or security-led transformation roles
  • Strong technical grounding in security architecture, secure design, and third-party risk assurance
  • Clear communicator—able to engage both engineers and business stakeholders with equal confidence
  • Familiarity with CAF or OT environments is essential; prior work in critical infrastructure is desirable
  • Experience with Salesforce, Oracle, and AWS in programme environments is a distinct advantage
  • Practical mindset—comfortable advising on proportionate controls, trade-offs, and real-world constraints


You’ll join a collaborative, delivery-focused team where flexibility is key. Expect remote-first working with periodic site visits for workshops or key engagements.


If you combine deep technical assurance with the ability to influence business thinking, we’d love to speak with you.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Cyber Security: Guarding the Digital Frontier

The cyber security landscape has evolved dramatically over the past decade. Long gone are the days when businesses primarily worried about simplistic phishing or basic website defacements. Today’s threats include nation-state attacks, sophisticated ransomware, AI-generated phishing campaigns, and a wide array of stealthy intrusion methods. Organisations must defend vast digital ecosystems that include cloud infrastructure, IoT devices, and critical operational technology—any of which can become high-value targets for malicious actors. Amid these escalating challenges, a new technological wave is emerging: quantum computing. Although still in its infancy, quantum computing promises capabilities that could surpass even the most advanced classical supercomputers for specific tasks. Simultaneously, in the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI)—where data volumes and model complexity are exploding—quantum’s parallelism could significantly boost analysis, training, and decision-making. What unfolds when quantum computing and AI converge in the realm of cyber security? On one hand, quantum technologies could introduce stronger encryption and faster threat detection. On the other, adversaries armed with quantum power might break today’s cryptographic protocols or develop more potent attacks at unimaginable speeds. This article explores the phenomenon of quantum-enhanced AI for cyber security: the possibilities it unlocks, the challenges it poses, and the reasons it could reshape both defensive and offensive operations in the digital world.
