About Intelance
Intelance is a UK-based consulting firm and an IASME Certification Body across Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, and IASME Cyber Assurance. We also deliver ISO 27001 implementation and audit support to mid-market and enterprise clients across the UK and Europe.
We are building a selective associate panel to support a growing book of Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus engagements. This is not an employment role. It is a long-term associate relationship for experienced assessors who want steady, well-run work, named inclusion on our panel, and a professional home that treats assurance delivery as a craft.
Tasks
- Conduct Cyber Essentials self-assessment reviews against the current IASME question set and issue certification decisions within agreed service levels.
- Deliver Cyber Essentials Plus technical audits, including vulnerability scanning, authenticated scans, sample device testing, multi-factor authentication validation, and malware protection checks.
- Write clear, defensible assessment reports and certification recommendations.
- Guide client technical contacts through remediation where gaps are identified, without drifting into paid consultancy during the certification window.
- Maintain evidence and audit trails to IASME Certification Body standards.
- Participate in internal calibration sessions to keep assessment quality consistent across the panel.
- Where capacity and interest align, support adjacent work across IASME Cyber Assurance Level 1 and Level 2 and ISO 27001 readiness.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
