Andover
Senior Cyber Security Analyst (SOC) 📍 Andover, Hampshire 🕒 Days & Nights – a genuinely great shift pattern 🔐 Security Clearance: SC required or Able to Achieve it 💼 Permanent | Competitive salary + shift & on‑call allowance Not your average SOC role. Not your average client. If you’re a Senior SOC Analyst who wants more than staring at alerts all night, this is a rare opportunity to work in a high‑trust, high‑impact security operations environment where your expertise actually shapes outcomes. You need to already be a British Citizen and to have lived in the UK for 5 years, this will be checked. CND cannot sponsor citizenship or visas. CND is expanding and we’re looking for an experienced Senior SOC Analyst to deliver 24/7 SOC services across mission‑critical platforms, protecting organisations that really matter. You’ll be part of CND’s permanent team, but initially embedded on a very special client site in Andover. From there, genuine progression opportunities exist across CND’s wider consultancy and managed security services portfolio. (Seriously, have a look at our website. It’s good stuff.) 🌟 Why this role is different This isn’t “just” an analyst position, it’s a consultative, trusted‑advisor role where you’ll: • Mentor and support client analysts, • Influence how monitoring is done, not just respond to it, • Help shape capability, tooling, and process maturity, • Access to further training during quiet moments. And yes… the shift pattern really is that good: ✅ Brilliant rota designed for real work–life balance ✅ Regular 5‑day breaks built into your schedule ✅ At least two full weekends off every month (rare in a 24/7 SOC) ✅ A growing, well‑funded team investing in new capability, and in you 🔍 What you’ll be doing • Deliver high‑quality, in‑depth security analysis from SIEM alerts through to investigation and response, • Actively drive improvements in monitoring coverage, detection quality, and SOC effectiveness, • Engage confidently with stakeholders at all technical levels, • Proactively advise the client, bringing insight and calm leadership to complex security challenges, • Serve as a point of escalation, supporting and guiding junior analysts 🧠 What you’ll bring • Hands‑on experience with SIEM platforms such as Splunk, ArcSight, LogRhythm, or AlienVault, • A strong understanding of how to get real value from security tooling, • Experience building capability and consulting with customers to improve their environments, • Knowledge of SOC processes, playbooks, and procedures (highly desirable), • Confidence owning incidents end‑to‑end — from detection through investigation to response 🚀 Ready to step up? • If you’re looking for a SOC role where you’re trusted, valued, and given room to grow, we’d love to hear from you.
