? Independent Cybersecurity Consultant

? Location: Noida (NCR) – Hybrid⏳ Engagement: Contract / Consulting

We are seeking a senior, hands-on Cybersecurity Consultant for a strategic engagement with our client.

This is not a routine audit or BAU security role. The consultant will assess the current environment, challenge existing controls, design a pragmatic Zero Trust security architecture, and help establish an institutional-grade security programme.

Client has recently completed a management-led internal security review and is executing an active remediation program. To build on this foundation, Client requires an independent senior practitioner to pressure-test the current state, validate and strengthen the strategic direction, and deliver a robust security architecture, process framework, and operating rhythm.

This is a hands-on advisory role reporting directly to senior leadership (CEO-1). It is not a checkbox audit and not a tool-selling exercise. Specific findings and internal materials will be shared following NDA execution.

? What We’re Looking For

- 12+ years of Information Security experience




- 5+ years advising/leading security for Product, SaaS, or data-intensive organisations
- Deep hands-on expertise in the Microsoft Security ecosystem:• Microsoft Entra ID – Conditional Access, MFA, PIM• Microsoft Intune• Defender for Endpoint / XDR• Azure Security
- Robust Azure DevOps / DevSecOps expertise – pipeline security, branch policies, secrets management, SAST/SCA
- Proven Zero Trust Architecture experience
- Insider Risk & Data Exfiltration control design
- ISO 27001:2022 implementation experience
- Ability to engage confidently with senior leadership while remaining technically hands-on
- ⭐ Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCSP, SC-100, SC-200, or OSCP are highly valued

We are particularly interested in practitioners who have personally built and strengthened security programmes, rather than those focused primarily on audits or compliance assessments.
