Remote Cybersecurity Consultant

This is a hands-on role. We are not looking for someone to only advise us and leave the work to our team: you will do a large part of the security work yourself, working inside our repositories, pipelines and cloud accounts alongside our engineers. You will configure tools, fix and harden things, write the processes and documents, and run the sessions, while showing our team how it is done along the way. Our goal is a company that runs a secure development lifecycle on every project, has its own house in order, is well on the way to ISO/IEC 27001 certification, and has an internal Security Lead who can work with you and gradually take over day-to-day ownership. This is a part-time role.

Responsibilities Assessment and governance Run the security maturity assessment yourself (for example OWASP SAMM), review our repositories, pipelines and cloud setup, and turn the findings into a prioritized roadmap. Write our core security policies and procedures: access control, acceptable use, secure development, incident response, vendor and AI tool usage. Set up and maintain the security backlog, risk register and progress metrics, and report progress to management monthly. Company security ("secure the house") Configure and enforce SSO and MFA across email, Git hosting, cloud consoles, CI/CD and Passbolt. Review and fix access rights, and set up onboarding and offboarding checklists. Harden our Passbolt setup and implement a secrets manager for applications and pipelines, including migrating existing secrets out of code and CI variables. Implement baseline hardening for laptops, cloud accounts, backups and logging. Write the incident response plan and run tabletop exercises with the team. Secure software development Build our standard Secure SDLC, based on OWASP ASVS and OWASP SAMM, and roll it out on real client projects. Configure and tune our SecOps platform: reduce false positives, set up pipeline quality gates and triage findings together with the teams. Add the missing scanning to our CI/CD pipelines yourself: SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC and container scanning, DAST and SBOM generation. Run threat modeling sessions on active projects and document the results. Do security code reviews of high-risk changes and help developers fix vulnerabilities. Perform internal security testing of our applications before releases, and scope and coordinate external penetration tests. Regulation and compliance Map how the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), NIS2 and relevant local regulations affect us and our clients. Write and implement our vulnerability handling and disclosure process, including support for clients' CRA reporting obligations. Do the hands-on ISO/IEC 27001 preparation work: scope, risk assessment, Statement of Applicability, policies and evidence, and work with the certification body. Client offering Help define security service tiers we can include in client proposals. Fill in client security questionnaires and build a reusable answer set. Join selected client meetings or calls as a senior security voice when needed. People and knowledge Work side by side with our internal Security Lead so they learn by doing. Run short internal workshops on key topics (for example OWASP Top 10, threat modeling, secure CI/CD). Recommend training and certification paths for developers, Security Champions and DevOps engineers.

Requirements Must have 8+ years of experience in information security, with recent hands-on work in application security, DevSecOps or cloud security. Comfortable doing the work yourself: configuring security tools, writing pipeline configuration, reviewing code, testing applications and writing policies. Practical experience setting up a secure development lifecycle and integrating security tools into CI/CD pipelines. Good knowledge of cloud security in at least one major cloud (AWS, Azure or GCP). Ability to explain security risks in plain language to both engineers and management. Fluent English, written and spoken. Kubernetes and container security experience. Knowledge of security risks in AI and LLM-based applications. Nice to have Experience with the EU Cyber Resilience Act, NIS2 and GDPR in a software vendor or supplier context. Experience building security offerings for clients in an agency or outsourcing environment. Experience implementing or auditing ISO/IEC 27001 (or a comparable framework such as SOC 2).
