Digital Forensics & Incident Response Specialist

The Role

This position involves responding swiftly to cybersecurity incidents, investigating security breaches, and analysing cyberattacks across both IT and operational technology environments, including critical infrastructure. The specialist conducts digital forensic investigations within legal frameworks, communicates findings to clients and stakeholders, and contributes proactively to improving cyber resilience.

Skills & Experience

Candidates require proven experience in incident response, digital forensics, and evidence handling within established forensic and legal boundaries. Familiarity with crisis management, triage processes, and communication with bodies such as CERTs and the NCSC is expected. The ability to explain technical findings clearly to non-technical audiences is essential.

Who It Suits

This role suits a composed, analytically minded professional who thrives under pressure and approaches each unique incident with creative thinking and flexibility. It is well matched to someone equally comfortable working reactively during live incidents and proactively on prevention, with an interest in critical infrastructure and operational technology environments.
