Security Resilience Consultant
Security Resilience Consultant
Rate: £500 - £550 per day (Inside IR35)Duration: 6 months initial Location: London - 2 days per week on-site
Role Overview:
We are seeking a hands-on Security Resilience Consultant to support and strengthen security controls across a regulated technology environment. This role would suit someone who has worked within a medium sized regulated business, where security teams are lean, responsibilities are broad and individuals are expected to balance analysis, delivery and operational ownership.
You will focus on the effectiveness of technical security controls, supplier and SaaS security posture and the use of data and dashboards to provide clear, actionable insight into risk and resilience. This is not a purely policy or assurance role, you will be expected to get into the detail and work directly with systems and data.
Key Responsibilities
- Monitor and assess the coverage and effectiveness of technical security controls, aligned to defined KRIs and KCIs.
- Work closely with the Supplier Assurance function to evaluate the security posture of third-party products and services, with a strong focus on SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) / Third Party risk platforms.
- Perform hands-on analysis of security and risk datasets, drawing meaningful conclusions to support resilience decisions.
- Help design and build a SaaS security assessment capability, embedding day-to-day security practices into administrative and technical controls.
- Develop and maintain practical dashboards and reporting to provide visibility of security posture and control effectiveness.
- Support compliance with regulatory, legal, and internal governance requirements in a pragmatic, delivery-focused manner.
Required Experience
- Background in a regulated environment (e.g. financial services, insurance, payments, utilities, or similar).
- Experience working in small-to-medium security or technology teams, where you've been required to be hands-on.
- Solid cloud security experience, ideally within SaaS-heavy environments.
- Strong data analysis capability, including querying, mapping, and interpreting complex datasets.
- Experience with data harmonisation and visualisation, using tools such as Excel and Power BI.
- Comfortable working across security, technology, and assurance stakeholders, translating data into clear risk insight.
Nice to Have
- Exposure to SSPM tooling or third-party risk platforms.
- Experience operating in environments without heavy process, where you help shape how things are done rather than inherit mature frameworks.
