iO Associates have partnered with an Engineering firm in Eastleigh on their search to bring in a Cyber Security Champion, ideally on a Permanent basis.

You will take ownership of cyber security across the organisation. This is a senior, autonomous role suited to someone with a strong background in cyber security who can independently lead initiatives, bring systems up to regulatory standards, and embed best practices across the business.

You will act as the central authority for cyber security, working across teams to gather information, define plans, and implement the controls and processes required to ensure systems, infrastructure, and networks meet security and regulatory requirements. This position requires someone comfortable operating without close supervision, capable of running the cyber security function, coordinating with stakeholders across the organisation, and driving security improvements efficiently and effectively.

Requirements:

Lead and take full ownership of the organisation's cyber security posture.
Bring systems, infrastructure, and processes up to required cyber security and regulatory standards.
Collaborate with teams across the business to gather information, assess risks, and implement security plans.
Define and implement security policies, procedures, and frameworks.
Provide guidance on the security of software systems, infrastructure, equipment, and networks.
Identify gaps in security controls and drive remediation plans.

This role will be based out of Eastliegh on a Hybrid basis, ideally on a 4:1 split initially whilst the requirements and documentation are being gathered. If you have experience with IEC 62443, this would be a HUGE bonus.

If you're interested, please respond with your updated CV right away. The CV deadline for this role is the 18th March 2026.
