The Team - National Markets Consulting
The Cyber team is an integral part of our rapidly growing National Markets Consulting practice. As a multi-disciplinary practice we deliver a comprehensive range of consulting services that our clients demand. Our Cyber specialists deliver a number of service lines to our clients, including:
- Data privacy
- Identity and access management
- Certification services
- Advice on the management of technology risk
- Cyber defence services and penetration testing
- Strategy and Security Transformation
- Cyber Maturity Assessment
- Business Resilience

The Role
Our core client base is predominantly within financial services and large corporates, but we are increasingly finding that our specialist skills are needed by firms in other industries like Health and Public Sector.
These clients need to deal effectively with their information security (and related) risks, to achieve maximum value from their technology, data and processes and our Cyber specialists provide independent, jargon-free advice to help them achieve this potential.

We also work closely with other consulting teams, for example technology risk specialists, digital experts and technology strategists to ensure our clients receive the best possible advice.
The team works in an agile and flexible manner, with plenty of opportunities to develop new skills and gain new knowledge. We are keen to support and develop our people to enable them to be the best they can be.

The Person
A successful candidate will be responsible for:
- Project management of small engagements and end-to-end and support on larger engagements to deliver high quality work in a timely manner to include: Scoping / Financial management / Engagement and risk management / Production and review of deliverables
- Delivery of penetration testing services to clients
- Maintaining a current view of the cyber threat, and being able to advise clients on the threat landscape and attacks which may be relevant to them
- Assessing client cyber-defence maturity and participating in security assessments
- Coaching and developing team members through sharing of experience and knowledge
- Supporting leadership of the team in the embedment of effective working practices
- Building and managing client relationships across a number of clients
- Actively identifying and progressing business development opportunities, as well as managing sales activities such as proposal development and assisting with client presentations
- Developing internal networks and maintaining relationships with colleagues across other teams within KPMG

- Proven ability to identify and assess complex information protection risks and controls
- Understanding of a wide range of information security and IT methodologies, principles, technologies and techniques

- Capacity to deliver work within tight timescales to a high quality
- Degree level educated, MSc in Information Security, IT or relevant subject (preferred)
- Knowledge and experience of OWASP
- A genuine interest and desire to work in the information security field

It would also be useful (but not a deal-breaker) if you have:
- Recognised information security (e.g. CISM / CISSP) qualification, or working towards this qualification.
- Security assessment / red team certifications such as:
o CREST Registered Tester (CRT)
o Offensive Security Certified Specialist (OSCP)
o CREST Certified Tester App/Inf (CCT)

- A current government security clearance (SC/DV) or willingness to acquire such a clearance will be seen as an advantage.

Suitable part time hours can be discussed on application as we are flexible around individual requirements.
