Cyber Security Consultant / Security Architect
Cyber Security Consultant / Security Architect Salary: Up to £90,000 Location: MOD Corsham Working pattern: 5 days per week on site Clearance: Current SC clearance or DV clearance MANDATORY
We are hiring for a Cyber Security Consultant with a strong Security Architecture background to support MOD and public sector environments across secure design, cyber assurance, risk management and technical security architecture.
This is not a pure GRC role. We need someone who can understand technical systems, review architecture, identify security risks, advise on controls and produce clear assurance documentation.
You will be working closely with technical teams, delivery teams, suppliers and senior stakeholders to support secure system design and ensure security requirements are properly understood and implemented.
Responsibilities
Review technical architectures and advise on security risks, controls and design improvements. Support Secure by Design activity across complex MOD and public sector programmes. Produce security architecture documentation, risk assessments, assurance plans and security management artefacts. Assess security controls across cloud, infrastructure, networks, identity, applications and data. Translate technical security risks into clear advice for technical and non-technical stakeholders. Support security cases, risk treatment plans and accreditation-style documentation. Review vulnerability assessment, penetration test and supplier assurance outputs. Support alignment with ISO 27001, NIST, CAF, GovAssure, Secure by Design and HMG / MOD assurance expectations.
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.
