Key responsibilities:

    • Lead security architecture activities across SOC services and client engagements.
    • Define security controls, high-level and low-level designs, and testing requirements.
    • Shape detection content standards, including rules, use cases and correlation logic.
    • Act as the technical authority for security designs, blueprints and technology roadmaps.
    • Support SOC maturity, assurance and accreditation requirements including CREST.
    • Review technical changes, provide architectural governance and reduce security risk.
    • Drive improvements through automation, AI and emerging security technologies.
 
Essential experience:
  • Proven experience in Security Architecture within a SOC, MSSP, enterprise security or complex security operations environment.
    • Strong understanding of SOC operations, detection strategies, rules and use cases.
    • Experience owning or designing security architectures, platforms and security integrations.
    • Understanding of security governance, risk, compliance and assurance requirements.
    • Ability to influence engineers, analysts and stakeholders as a technical authority.
    •  British nationals (DV eligible role)
 
This is a great opportunity for a Security Architect who wants to take ownership of SOC strategy, architecture and the next generation of security services.
