  * Strong understanding of cloud and network security (preferably Microsoft stack: M365, Azure, Defender, DLP, Conditional Access).

  * Demonstrated experience reviewing security questionnaires, tenders, and supplier assurance evidence.

  * Good knowledge of risk assessment methodologies (ISO 27005, NIST RMF, or equivalent).

  * Working familiarity with ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, DSPT, and GDPR requirements.

  * Experience interpreting vulnerability scan results and prioritising remediation.

  * Strong written communication skills for drafting risk reports, supplier reviews, and executive summaries.

  * Excellent stakeholder engagement skills — able to explain technical concepts in plain language.

Desirable

  * Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CEH, CompTIA Security+, or equivalent experience.

  * Experience working in healthcare, charity, or public sector environments.
