The pace is steady and the scope is broad, covering both day-to-day operations and longer-term risk reduction projects.

This engagement is suitable for security professionals with a solid background in SIEM platforms, network security, and regulatory frameworks.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience with SIEM platforms such as Splunk, QRadar, or Microsoft Sentinel
  • Solid understanding of TCP/IP networking, firewalls, and endpoint security controls
  • Experience with vulnerability scanning tools such as Nessus, Qualys, or Rapid7
  • Familiarity with security frameworks including NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or CIS Controls
  • One or more relevant certifications such as CISSP, CEH, CompTIA Security+, or equivalent
  • Experience supporting incident response and conducting root cause analysis
  • Strong written communication skills for documentation and stakeholder reporting
