Requirements
Must:
We require a minimum of 6 years of experience in cyber security architecture, specifically within the defence, aerospace, or critical national infrastructure sectors. You should possess strong knowledge of MOD security requirements such as JSP 440, JSP 604, and DEF STANs. Experience with Secure by Design principles and secure development lifecycles is essential. A deep understanding of security architectures, processes, and compliance frameworks, including ISO 27001 and CE/CE+, is necessary. Additionally, familiarity with MOD security assurance artefacts and risk management frameworks (HMG IS1/IS2 and NIST RMF) is crucial. Excellent communication skills are required to effectively engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Furthermore, you must hold current SC Clearance. Preferred certifications include CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), CISM (Certified Information Security Manager), and architecture certifications such as SABSA or TOGAF.

You will design, develop, and maintain secure system architectures for MOD platforms and networks. Ensuring alignment with relevant standards, including NIST SP 800-53, ISO 27001, JSP 440, DEF STAN 05-138, and NCSC guidance, will be a key aspect of your role. Your responsibilities will include producing and maintaining security documentation such as Security Architecture Documents, Risk Assessments, and Management Plans. You will lead secure design reviews and contribute to engineering assurance gates while liaising with MOD, NCSC, and other stakeholders to support security assurance processes. Collaborating with engineering and development teams to embed security from the outset will also be part of your duties, as well as staying abreast of evolving threat landscapes and proposing effective mitigation strategies.
