Defence Cyber Security Consultant - Strategy, Engagement & Risk

Daintta is a rapidly growing, values-driven team of specialists who work with UK public sector, UK government and defence clients to strengthen their ability to protect the UK and its interests. Our work spans programmes across Cyber, Telecommunications and Data as our people thrive developing innovative approaches that tackle some of the UK’s most complex problems. Our goal as a company is to enable change that truly matters.

Against a backdrop of increasing geopolitical uncertainty, evolving cyber threats and heightened pressure on national security, the UK’s Defence landscape is undergoing its most significant transformation in recent history. The convergence of digital, physical and information-based threat demands the UK employ a proactive, and adaptive approach to cyber resilience and security assurance. To support, we are rapidly expanding our Defence portfolio, bringing together technical expertise and defence sector knowledge to help our clients address emerging risks, strengthen their security capabilities, and deliver robust and innovative solutions that protect critical defence capabilities, assets and operations.

We are seeking talented and motivated Cyber Security Consultants, across all grades, with experience working in Defence, to join our team and contribute towards this mission.

We are looking for people who intuitively understand our defence clients’ needs, consider both immediate and strategic goals, and can apply their experience creatively to meet new and complex challenges.

As our clients develop and deploy increasingly sophisticated technologies, as a Cyber Security Consultant your role will go beyond delivering traditional risk assurance assessments. You will play a key role in helping our clients understand and respond to their increasingly complex threat landscape by shaping secure and resilient solutions for some of the UK’s “next generation” defence capabilities. You will combine technical expertise with strategic insight to address the cyber security implications of integrating emerging technologies within evolving operational concepts, ensuring that our client’s defence capabilities are resilient, secure-by-design, and capable of operating effectively, enabling the UK to maintain operational advantage in an increasingly contested environment.
