Key Responsibilities:

- Support the Lead Assessor in delivering Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus assessments.
- Collect and record technical evidence from client systems (screenshots, patch data, configurations).
- Run device, network, and account security checks.
- Maintain audit logs, trackers, and client reports.
- Assist with remediation planning and client support.
- Help automate business processes and workflows using Microsoft Power Automate and SharePoint.
- Identify opportunities to improve efficiency across internal systems and documentation.

Skills & Experience Required:

- Minimum 3 years’ IT experience (desktop support, networking, or systems administration).
- Strong understanding of Windows configuration, patching, and basic network security.
- Good documentation and attention to detail.
- Excellent communication and professionalism when working with clients.

Desirable (training provided):

- Awareness of Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001.
- Experience with vulnerability scanning tools (e.g. Tenable, Qualys).
- Knowledge of Microsoft 365 security and endpoint management.

Benefits:

- Flexible working and supportive team environment.
- Involvement in real-world client assessments across multiple sectors.
