Intelance is an independent UK advisory and assurance firm and an IASME Certification Body for Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus and IASME Cyber Assurance. We work with mid-market, enterprise and regulated organisations across cyber assurance, governance, risk and technology.

We are appointing professionals who already hold formal UK Cyber Security Council (UKCSC) registration in Cyber Security Governance and Risk Management at Principal or Chartered level, to join our associate panel and support the assessment and advisory of large, complex organisations.

This is not permanent employment. Work is offered on a project-by-project basis according to client demand, suitability and availability. There is no guaranteed volume of work.

Please note: current UKCSC registration in Cyber Security Governance and Risk Management at Principal or Chartered level is an essential requirement for this role. Applications without it will not be progressed.

Tasks

You may be asked to:

• Lead independent cyber governance and risk reviews for large, complex and regulated organisations.

• Assess risk appetite, risk ownership, control effectiveness and risk-treatment decisions.

• Review policies, risk registers, control mappings, assurance evidence and governance arrangements.

• Judge whether evidence supports the conclusions presented to senior leaders.

• Explain cyber risks and control gaps clearly to boards, executives and non-technical stakeholders.

• Lead interviews and workshops with CISOs, risk owners and control owners.

• Produce clear, defensible, client-ready governance and risk reports.

• Complete scheme-specific training and participate in internal quality reviews where required.

• Experience advising boards, executive teams or senior risk committees in large or regulated organisations.

• Practical knowledge of recognised frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, Cyber Essentials or equivalent.

• Excellent written English and the ability to challenge weak evidence respectfully.

CISM, CRISC, CISA and ISO 27001 Lead Auditor or Lead Implementer are welcome but do not replace the UKCSC registration requirement.

You must be based in the UK, able to attend UK client sites when agreed, and able to contract through a limited company or another compliant arrangement.
