This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly skilled Security Consultancy Team who specialise across the full range of cyber security disciplines.

About Logiq
Logiq Consulting are Cyber Security and Information Assurance experts.
Specialising in delivering leading edge consultancy to clients with high-risk business operations, along with a range of security services and products relied upon throughout the Private and Public Sector.
Our existing programmes of work are expanding rapidly, and we have urgent requirements for a Principal Consultant, to enable us to continue to deliver at an accelerated rate. Ideally you will have current or recent experience working in a government security advisory role, either within Defence or Security organisations.
About You
We are seeking a highly capable Security Consultant to join the company’s primary Cyber Security Practice.
The successful candidate will be a member of the Chartered Institute of Information Security (CIISec) and should hold an industry recognised cyber security certification commensurate to their experience (such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) or Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) (or equivalent dependent on their experience)).
It would also be desirable for them to hold professional registration with the Cyber Security Council within a relevant specialism – such as Security Architecture, Audit and Assurance, or Governance and Risk Management.
Logiq Consulting are a leading player in MOD’s cyber security transformation to Secure by Design (SbD). We are looking for team members and leaders who share our vision that cyber security is driven by business requirements and a holistic view of security that can guide clients to optimal risk management decisions, and delivery of capabilities which are inherently secure.
Ideally you will have worked across the system lifecycle, undertaking the security risk management activities required to support each phase,
from initial threat and risks assessments and specification of security requirements, through to overseeing implementation and testing of socio-technical security architectures. You will also have experience of defining and implementing risk management strategies and plans and coordinating the continuous security assurance and risk management processes which underpin delivery and operation of secure capabilities.
The ideal candidate will be both experienced and invested in ensuring that our clients' solutions are Secure by Design and will have the inter-personal skills needed to do this, e.g. ability to lead workshops, engage with business leaders, and interact with a diverse range of project teams and stakeholders.
With your defence experience you will be comfortable operating in a ‘customer friend’ type role, supporting clients understand, mitigate, and manage their security risks appropriately, and ensuring secure capabilities are delivered to meet operational requirements. Our Consultants are engaged across Security Engineering, Risk Management and Assurance tasks, working on parallel projects and workstreams, and take lead roles on client projects.
You will also be comfortable enhancing customer relationships and identifying opportunities for growth and will have experience developing proposals and tender submissions in pursuit of new business opportunities.
