Digital Forensic Analyst

The Role

The analyst conducts digital forensic investigations into information security incidents, collecting and preserving evidence to legal standards. Day-to-day work includes reconstructing incidents, performing proactive threat hunting across networks and endpoints, supporting incident response teams, and producing clear technical reports for stakeholders including legal and risk functions.

Skills & Experience

Candidates require hands-on experience with advanced forensic tools and methodologies, alongside knowledge of incident detection, analysis, and remediation. Familiarity with network traffic analysis, log review, and endpoint investigation is essential. Experience identifying indicators of compromise and working within a CSIRT environment is strongly relevant to this position.

Who It Suits

This role suits an experienced forensic professional who is comfortable operating in a large, complex enterprise environment. Someone who can communicate technical findings clearly to non-technical audiences, collaborate across IT and security teams, and take a proactive rather than purely reactive approach to identifying and managing cyber threats will thrive here.
