UKCSC Chartered or Principal Enterprise Advisor - Security Architecture

Overview

Intelance is seeking professionals to join its associate panel as a Chartered or Principal Enterprise Advisor in Security Architecture. This is a freelance, project-based contractor role rather than permanent employment, with work assigned according to client demand, availability, and suitability. The employer is an independent UK advisory and assurance firm and an IASME Certification Body that works with mid-market, enterprise, and regulated organisations.

Who can apply

Applicants must be based in the UK and be able to contract through a limited company or another compliant arrangement. Candidates are also required to attend UK client sites when agreed upon. Visa sponsorship may be offered for suitable candidates.

Requirements

The mandatory requirement for this position is current professional registration with the UK Cyber Security Council in Security Architecture at the Principal or Chartered level. In addition to this verified registration, applicants should bring substantial experience as a practising security architect in complex, large, or regulated environments, along with a strong command of threat modelling, architecture assurance, and secure-by-design principles. Candidates need practical experience spanning cloud, hybrid infrastructure, identity, networks, applications, and data security, alongside excellent written English skills for communicating technical risk to non-technical decision-makers. Additional credentials such as SABSA, TOGAF, CISSP, CCSP, and cloud certifications are welcomed but do not replace the primary registration requirement.

How to apply

Interested candidates need to submit a CV and a LinkedIn profile, along with specific details regarding their UK Cyber Security Council registration, including the specialism, level, and registration number or public profile link. Submissions must also include the applicant's current location, availability, and expected day rate, plus one example of a complex enterprise security architecture personally designed or assured by the candidate. Information on any relevant architecture, scheme, or cyber-assurance qualifications should be provided as well.
