Are you tired of being on the road? Fed up with living out of a bag? Spending too much time in the cold aisle?

If you are looking for a permanent role outside of consulting, we are looking for a Penetration Tester to join our internal team.

Within the internal testing team, you will deliver a range of security assurance services such as web application penetration tests, network, and infrastructure penetration tests. You will be exposed to cutting edge Cloud technologies. You will also undertake social engineering engagements and physical security assessments (when we return to a post-Covid world!) and secure code reviews.

We believe that the key deliverable of any security test is the report. You will prepare high-quality reports detailing findings and making key recommendations. Your findings will feed into our ongoing vulnerability management process, will have a significant impact, and will create change across the business.

You will work alongside IT and development project teams to ensure that all our services – both to our customers and to our staff – are delivered in a secure manner. You will question information that others would take on face value and remain inquisitive to improve the quality of security tests carried out against our infrastructure and applications.

We provide a generous training budget. Members of the team have chosen to undertake numerous training courses and further certifications including SANS and CREST. We expect you to keep up to date on current security trends, techniques, and tools. We love gamifying security training, and staff are encouraged to take part in CTFs. You will also be encouraged to attend conferences, seminars, and industry briefings (currently virtually, of course).

Responsibilities

An Internal Penetration Tester will:

  • Carry out detailed application and/or infrastructure penetration test assignments either alone or in a small team.
  • Write high quality reports.
  • Work collaboratively with the wider Information Security teams. 
  • Assist with post incident reviews when required.

Essential Experience/Skills

  • 2 years’ experience in penetration testing.
  • Solid report writing skills.
  • Familiarity with ‘standard’ penetration testing tools.

Highly Desirable Skills

  • Familiarity with at least one cloud platform such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS or Google GCP.
  • Understanding of the Cyber Kill Chain, MITRE ATT&CK and other information security defence and intelligence frameworks.
  • Programming or scripting skills in at least one modern computer language.
  • One or more of the following:
    • CREST Registered Tester (CRT)
    • Tigerscheme Senior Security Tester (QSTM)
    • Other ‘CHECK Team Member’ equivalent qualification.
    • (ISC)2 Certification such as CISSP
    • GIAC Certification such as GEVA, GPEN, GCIH, GWAPT
