SC Security Architects

SC Cleared Security Architect (OutsideIR35 Contract)

Overview:

This is a Fully Remote OutsideIR35 Contract!

We’re supporting a public sector end client with an immediate requirement for SC security-cleared Security Architects to deliver hands-on security architecture across ongoing programmes. 

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver security architecture across projects/products, producing clear, implementable designs.
• Create and maintain architecture artefacts (e.g., HLD/LLD, security patterns, control mappings, risk decisions).
• Lead/own security design reviews and provide pragmatic guidance to engineering and delivery teams.
• Ensure solutions align to relevant security standards, policies, and assurance requirements.
• Support stakeholders with risk-based decisioning, remediation plans, and security-by-design outcomes.

Required Skills & Experience

• Proven experience working as a Security Architect (delivery-focused, not purely governance).
• Strong ability to translate security requirements into practical architecture and controls.
• Experience working in regulated / public sector environments (or similar high-assurance settings).
• Excellent stakeholder management and written documentation skills.

Security Clearance

• Active SC clearance is essential (must be in place to start)
