Cyber security is a critical business issue. Organisations are navigating an increasingly complex threat and regulatory landscape while transforming their businesses, adopting new technologies and seeking to grow with confidence. The choices they make about cyber risk can directly affect resilience, customer trust, regulatory outcomes and the ability to deliver on their strategic priorities.

Deloitte’s Cyber practice helps organisations make those choices and turn them into action. We bring together cyber, technology, transformation and industry expertise to help clients understand their most important risks, define the right response and deliver sustainable change. You’ll join a market-leading UK Cyber practice of more than 450 people, within Deloitte’s broader Technology & Transformation business.

Our work includes

Cyber Strategy & Transformation

Our Cyber Strategy & Transformation team works with senior leaders on complex, enterprise-level cyber challenges spanning three connected areas:

Cyber strategy and risk

  • Helping organisations understand the cyber risks that matter most, make informed choices about where to focus and invest, and define practical strategies aligned to business priorities and risk appetite:
    • Assess cyber risk, capability and maturity to identify priority areas for action.
    • Develop enterprise cyber strategies, investment priorities and risk-based roadmaps.
    • Support executives and boards to understand cyber risk and make clear, evidence-based decisions.
    • Interpret relevant regulations, standards and emerging threats in the context of an organisation’s strategy and operating environment.

Cyber transformation and delivery

  • Turning cyber strategy into measurable change by shaping, mobilising and delivering transformation programmes that strengthen capabilities, improve resilience and embedding cyber into wider business and technology change.
    • Translate strategy and assessment findings into prioritised transformation programmes and delivery plans.
    • Shape programme scope, outcomes, governance, dependencies and investment cases.
    • Lead or support complex cyber transformation programmes across multiple capabilities and stakeholder groups.
    • Help clients track outcomes, manage delivery risk and sustain improvements beyond the programme.

Cyber governance and operating models

  • Helping organisations establish clear accountability and effective ways to govern, manage and oversee cyber risk across the enterprise.
    • Design or evolve cyber governance, decision rights, roles and accountabilities.
    • Develop cyber operating models that connect security teams with technology, risk and the wider business.
    • Define proportionate policies, oversight mechanisms, metrics and reporting that support effective decision-making.
    • Help embed cyber risk management into business-as-usual processes and wider enterprise governance.

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.
