What success looks like in this role:
Vulnerability Assessment & Scanning
- Plan, schedule, and execute vulnerability scans across network, endpoint, server, and cloud environments using tools such as Nessus, Qualys, Rapid7 InsightVM, or Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management.
- Perform authenticated and unauthenticated scans, ensuring coverage across all in-scope assets.
- Conduct ad hoc scans following remediation activities to validate closure of identified vulnerabilities.
- Maintain and continuously improve scan coverage, ensuring no asset gaps in the vulnerability programme.
Analysis & Risk Prioritisation
- Analyse scan results and assess vulnerabilities based on CVSS scores, exploit availability, asset criticality, and business impact.
- Correlate vulnerability findings with threat intelligence feeds to identify actively exploited vulnerabilities that require expedited remediation.
- Differentiate and prioritise Critical, High, Medium, and Low severity vulnerabilities in line with client SLAs and organisational risk appetite.
- Provide contextual risk analysis beyond automated scoring, considering the environment and compensating controls in place.
Remediation Management & Follow-up
- Assign remediation tasks to relevant resolver teams and track progress through to closure.
- Conduct regular follow-up with resolver teams to ensure patch deployment, configuration changes, or compensating controls are applied within agreed timelines.
- Escalate overdue or high-risk items to management and client stakeholders as appropriate.
- Validate remediation completeness through rescan confirmation and update records accordingly.
Reporting & Governance
- Prepare and deliver monthly, weekly, and ad hoc vulnerability management reports for client and internal stakeholders, including trend analysis, SLA performance, and risk posture summaries.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date vulnerability records across ticketing and vulnerability management platforms.
- Support governance meetings, monthly business reviews, and audit activities with relevant vulnerability data and evidence.
- Track and report on KPIs such as mean time to remediate (MTTR), vulnerability age, and scan coverage.
Client & Stakeholder Engagement
- Act as a point of contact for client queries related to vulnerability findings, remediation status, and risk assessment.
- Provide guidance and recommendations to resolver teams and clients on remediation approaches, patch management, and risk acceptance.
- Participate in client calls and governance forums, presenting vulnerability posture and remediation progress clearly and concisely.
Process Improvement & Documentation
- Maintain and continuously improve vulnerability management SOPs, playbooks, and process documentation.
- Identify opportunities to automate or streamline scanning, reporting, and remediation tracking workflows.
- Stay current with emerging vulnerabilities, CVEs, threat actor activity, and vendor advisories, and communicate relevant intelligence to the team and stakeholders.
- Support tool evaluations, onboarding of new scan targets, and integration of new clients or entities into the vulnerability programme.
You will be successful in this role if you have:
- 4–6 years of experience in cybersecurity with at least 2–3 years focused on vulnerability management.
- Hands-on experience with vulnerability scanning tools — Nessus Professional, Qualys, Rapid7 InsightVM, Defender or equivalent.
- Working knowledge of network protocols, operating systems (Windows, Linux), and cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP).
- Experience with ITSM and ticketing platforms such as ServiceNow for remediation tracking.
- Strong analytical and report-writing skills with the ability to communicate technical findings to non-technical audiences.
- Experience working in a managed security services or client-facing environment is preferred.
