- Security Automation & CI/CD: Integrate automated security testing tools (SAST/DAST, dependency scanning) directly into modern DevOps delivery pipelines (DevSecOps).
- Governance, Risk & Mentorship: Ensure alignment with UK GDPR, ISO 27001, and Cyber Essentials Plus frameworks, conduct root-cause analysis on security events, and mentor mid-level security analysts.
Skills & QualificationsEssential
