Job Description
Why Saepio?
The world of cyber security is fast paced and exciting, and so are Saepio!
We are a risk-focused Cyber Security Solutions Provider that works with UK-based corporate customers with anything between 250-5,000 users & sometimes more. Our sole purpose is to help our customers reduce their cyber security risk by increasing their resilience across People, Process and Products following Saepio’s ‘Right size’ approach.
Cyber security is a team sport, and it is our team of talented and driven employees that has been the key to our continued success. We know that, as a cyber security professional, the world is your oyster when it comes to job opportunities, so we aim to build a company culture that you will want to be a part of and that supports you to be the best version of you.
You can find out more about the way we do things at Saepio and what it is like to be a Saepion at our website https://saepio.co.uk/how-we-do-it/.
We recognise that talent comes in many shapes and sizes and from all walks of life and that often the best cyber defenders are the ones that you least expect. We encourage anyone who shares our passion and has the experience/potential to contribute to our success to apply.
The Opportunity for You
As a pure play cyber security company with a broad portfolio of customers, we can say with certainty that this role will ensure that you are working with a wide range of customers focused on solving their security challenges. This opportunity sits within our growing M-CISO Consulting Practice and presents an exciting opportunity to the successful candidate to help us build and grow this service.
With the increasing likelihood and impact of cyber-attacks coupled with a relative lack of internal security knowledge, many Saepio customers turn to us for strategic guidance.

The successful candidate will be expected to exercise a great deal of autonomy when delivering the service; however, there will be support from the broader team in both the Information Security and Customer Service aspects of the role. Saepio will support the training and development of the successful candidate along their journey to becoming a certified Chief Information Security Officer.
