Description
Managing Security Consultant – Cyber Business Resilience and Recovery Location: Cheltenham, Manchester or London - occasional office presence and client site visits
Why this role? Do you thrive on helping organisations prepare for, withstand, and recover from cyber incidents? At NCC Group, you’ll be part of a team that bridges the gap between cyber operations and business continuity — ensuring our clients can respond confidently when disruption strikes. You’ll work across incident response readiness, cyber recovery planning, crisis management exercises, and resilience assessments that protect real-world business outcomes. It’s meaningful, high-impact work that blends strategy, governance, and hands-on resilience engineering.
Key Responsibilities
What you’ll do Build cyber resilience strategies: Design and deliver tailored cyber resilience and recovery frameworks that integrate business continuity, IT disaster recovery, and incident response. Assess and improve readiness: Conduct cyber resilience maturity assessments and tabletop exercises; identify and prioritise gaps in recovery capabilities. Design recovery playbooks: Create actionable recovery and communication plans aligned with NIST, ISO 22301, and industry best practice. Test and validate: Lead scenario-based simulations and recovery testing to validate processes, people, and technology readiness. Integrate with security operations: Collaborate with SOC and IR teams to align resilience and recovery capabilities with detection, containment, and response functions. Engage stakeholders: Translate technical findings into clear, business-relevant recommendations; present outcomes to executives and boards. Advise on resilience architecture: Support the design of resilient infrastructure, backup strategies, and cloud recovery configurations. Mentor and contribute: Coach junior consultants and share lessons learned through internal knowledge sessions and reusable playbook templates.
