Business Security Consultant
Hybrid- Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands
€4,500 - €8,000 per monthBusiness Security
Job description
You are the strategic partner of our clients, supporting them on a project basis with their security management. You play a crucial role in further growing and professionalising the team and building ‘trusted partner’ relationships with clients.
What you do
As a Business Security Consultant, you advise clients on the most suitable and cost-effective measures for security risks. You bridge the gap between security and the business of the organisation. In doing so, you make the client aware of their governance responsibility and provide insight into the current situation. You present your advice to the board of the organisation and lead to concrete decision-making and implementation of possible improvements. You are that strategic sparring partner of the client.
The projects you work on are diverse and relate to topics such as security management (ISO 27001), risk management, compliance with standards and frameworks (NIST, DNB Good Practice) or cyber security legislation (NIS2, DORA), and of course Northwave’s total holistic approach to intelligent security operations. Your role can vary from conducting an assessment, managing and contributing to an implementation or an advisory role. Within these projects, we regularly collaborate with experts from other teams within Northwave.
In addition to your advisory function to organisations, you also ensure that the client acts on the given advice. You play a crucial role in identifying potential consultancy opportunities for Northwave. Always from an ‘consultative selling mindset; where the added value for the client comes first. The clients you work with vary in size from medium-large to large international companies, in various sectors. They are mainly located in the Netherlands, but also some in Belgium, Germany or have various locations worldwide.
The team
As a Business Security Consultant, you are part of the Risk Advisory team. As a team, we always strive for a high-quality but pragmatic approach, where the advice is implemented in a workable solution. We avoid long and bureaucratic documentation and focus on achieving the best and most pragmatic result possible. The team consists of 15+ Business Security Consultants, each with their own expertise. In addition, we work closely with the other teams within Northwave and always strive for an integrated approach. We have a strong ambition in the Risk Advisory domain, also internationally. This requires growth in expertise, seniority and further professionalisation of the team.
You like to
- Understand (complex) organisations and their business models in a short time
- Get to the core of an issue quickly
- Present to a board
- Help organisations to improve
- Work on multiple projects simultaneously
- Design a strategy and roadmap for the client’s cyber landscape
- Connect with clients and collaborate with colleagues from different departments
What you can expect

- 25 vacation days
- Good pension scheme
- Company-wide courses and individual training opportunities to further develop yourself

Job requirements
- Several years (5+) of experience as a cyber security consultant, or in a similar role.
- Expertise in security management, risk management, relevant standards and legislation. But most importantly; we are looking for someone with a real passion for the profession. A ‘vakidioot’ as we call it within Northwave, with an ‘expert leadership’ influence on the team.
- An entrepreneurial mindset and no problem working independent.
- Proficiency in Dutch and English, both spoken and written.
- CISM/CISSP/CISA/CRISK/CIPM or related certifications are a plus, but not necessary.
