About Saepio

Cyber security isn't an add-on to IT. It's a specialist discipline.

That's why modern UK organisations separate the teams who run systems from those who protect them. And it's why they choose Saepio.

We're one of the UK's most recognised cyber specialists and an NCSC Assured Service Provider, working with over 1,000 organisations who trust us to help them:

• Cut through noise and see their real risk
• Align policy, people and technology into one coherent strategy
• Mature security operations without adding unnecessary complexity
• Build cyber resilience that stands up to real-world pressure

We partner with the most advanced security platforms in the market and deliver high-impact events, campaigns and thought leadership that place Saepio at the centre of the UK cyber conversation.

The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for an early-career professional to join Saepio’s Cyber Resilience Consulting (CRC) practice as an Associate Advisor.

• Apply structured frameworks such as Cyber Essentials, CIS Controls (v8), CAF and NIST
• Contribute to the refinement of Saepio’s assessment methodology and supporting materials
• Maintain awareness of emerging threats, technologies, and regulatory requirements
• Collaboration and Development
• Work closely with senior advisors and assessors, learning through guidance and mentorship
• Participate in internal training, knowledge sharing, and service development initiatives
• Take an active role in improving assessment quality and client satisfaction

Who We Are Looking For

• 1–3 years of experience in cyber security, IT support, or related technical roles
• Strong understanding of cyber principles, control frameworks, and risk assessment
• Excellent communication and report‑writing skills
• Confidence in client‑facing environments and presenting technical information clearly
• Analytical and organised approach with strong attention to detail
• Eagerness to develop expertise in cyber resilience consultancy

• Experience using common cyber security or IT management tools
• Exposure to governance, compliance, or policy development processes
• Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CompTIA Security+, ITILv4, Microsoft 365 Fundamentals, or associated technical certifications (desirable)
