Strong technical proficiency in SQL, data modeling, and scripting languages such as Python or PowerShell is required to manage and visualize large security datasets.
Full description
Most organisations can scan. Far fewer can say what the scans mean, who owns eachfinding and whether anything was fixed. A multinational defence organisation is looking for theanalyst who closes that gap — half security assessment, half data engineering, and thecoordination that turns a report into a repaired system.
What you would be doing
- Reading the weekly assessment results, interpreting the technical findings, and writing theremediation plan that goes to the right technical owner.
- Judging technical impact so that remediation is prioritised on risk rather than on volume,and advising on hardening at operating system, database and network level.
- Building and running the data side: a structured repository that aggregates raw scan outputfrom several sources, and the pipeline that ingests it without manual handling.
- Designing and maintaining live dashboards in Power BI or Grafana, and the metrics that makeoperational and management reporting meaningful.
- Acting as the technical contact for site administrators and system owners, and keeping theremediation tracking honest and current.
- Producing the weekly and monthly reporting, and chairing the coordination meetings whereroadblocks get cleared.
- Leaving behind documentation good enough that the platform can be maintained withoutyou.
What you would bring
- Substantial vulnerability management experience, current rather than historical, plus atrack record of validating that delivered work meets its security requirements.
- Practical familiarity with scanners and their output formats — Nessus, Qualys, OpenVAS.
- A working grounding in security architecture: boundary protection, encryption, identity andaccess, monitoring and detection, incident response and risk.
- Real SQL depth for modelling and querying large scan datasets, in PostgreSQL or SQLServer.
- Advanced Power BI, including data modelling and DAX, or the Grafana equivalent against SQLand time-series sources.
- Python with Pandas or NumPy, or PowerShell, for parsing scan output and removing manualsteps.
- Ownership: the motivation to carry a task to its end, alone or in a team, and the writing toshow for it.
- Nice to have: certifications such as CISSP, CISM or a GIAC, and a data or businessintelligence certification such as PL-300.
