Senior Incident Response & Digital Forensics Consultant

Who are we?

It all starts with the mission: NVISO is here to protect European society from potentially devastating cyber attacks! This means we offer cyber security services to private and governmental organizations to help them better prepare for, prevent, detect and respond to cyber security incidents.

All of this is built on four fundamental values that define who we are:
We are Proud, We Break Barriers, We Care and No BS!

In addition to incident response and forensic engagements, you will work closely with the rest of the team to build & automate incident response processes, analytical capabilities, including threat hunting. You act as Incident Lead by setting investigative questions, delegating technical analysis tasks, and steer containment and eradication strategies.

You produce high-quality forensic and executive reports to present findings to technical stakeholders and executives. You occasionally peer-review case notes, artifacts, and draft reports.
