(Senior) Consultant Cyber Security

Do you get energy from strengthening digital resilience and building strong security governance?

Do you want to use your expertise directly to future-proof organisations and make real impact? At IMPROVEN, you work at the heart of the organisation, at the interface of business, risk and IT. You connect strategy, risk and execution and are a sparring partner for the board and management from day one. You help clients structurally increase their digital resilience, not by technical implementation, but by giving direction, analysis and strategic advice.

What do you do as a Consultant Cyber Security at IMPROVEN?

As a Cyber Security Consultant, you will be the driving force behind digital security at our clients. In this role, you help organisations identify risks, implement control measures and raise awareness. You work on complex issues and translate them into practical and workable solutions. You also advise on security governance, risk management and awareness. You support organisations in decision-making and ensure coherence between policy, organisation and processes. In close cooperation with privacy specialists, risk consultants, IT auditors and technical security teams, you contribute to integrated security solutions.

Your strength lies in consultancy, analysis and advice: complex security topics are translated into understandable and applicable insights for board and management. In this way, you help organisations take concrete steps towards sustainable digital resilience.
