Cyber Advisor Associate Panel
Intelance is a UK advisory and assurance firm and an IASME licensed Cyber Essentials Certification Body. We are appointing a qualified Cyber Advisor as an associate contractor to support practical Cyber Essentials implementation work for small and medium sized organisations and Intelance's Cyber Advisor Assured Service Provider onboarding.
This is an associate panel role. Assignments will be agreed separately through a clear scope, timetable and day rate. Preparation may be remote, with client meetings and occasional site visits across the UK.
Tasks
- Advise small and medium sized organisations on the practical implementation of all five Cyber Essentials controls.
- Review scope, devices, cloud services, user access, firewalls, secure configuration, malware protection, and security updates.
- Turn technical findings into clear, proportionate actions that non-technical clients can follow.
- Support clients with remediation planning and implementation evidence before certification.
- Run discovery calls, technical workshops, and progress reviews.
- Produce concise written recommendations, action plans, and client records.
- Protect client information and follow Intelance quality, security, and conflict management procedures.
- Keep advice work clearly separated from certification decisions where independence is required.
- Maintain current scheme knowledge and complete required IASME induction and updates.
- Work with Intelance's Cyber Essentials assessors and assurance team without compromising assessment independence.
