Pentest People is a UK-based security consultancy specialising in providing Penetration Testing as a Service to all its clients. Our innovative approach to security testing merges the benefits of consultant-led penetration testing with ongoing vulnerability assurance through our advanced SecurePortal. This provides clients with a continuous, living threat management system throughout the duration of the contract, rather than a single point-in-time assessment.

* Document incidents thoroughly, including timelines, affected systems, actions taken, and recommendations for future improvements.
* Prepare comprehensive reports for clients.
Technical skills:
* Demonstrated experience in responding to and investigating incidents whilst utilizing various monitoring, detection and investigation tooling – SIEM, SOAR, EDR etc.
* Proficiency in log analysis of Networking, Windows, Mac and Linux and Cloud.
* Understanding of evidence collection process based on priority.

* Knowledge of open-source IR tools, such as Velociraptor, Eric Zimmerman Tools, Chainsaw, Volatility, SOF-elk, DFIR IRIS.
* Experience in python or bash or Go.
About you:
* Experience in managing stakeholders during live incidents to minimise impacts.
* Strong communication skills, with the ability to manage and coordinate various incidents whilst remaining calm under pressure.
* Ability to align client deliverables with industry best practices.
* Experience in threat intelligence and analysis to support proactive IR.
* Capable of taking ownership of tasks, ensuring quality delivery and supporting the IR's team growth.
While this role is advertised as hyrbid, it will require occasional visits to client sites and the office as needed. Candidates must be based in the UK and have the right to work, as we are unable to provide sponsorship at this time. If you do not have SC eligibility, you must meet the requirements for SC, as this may be a necessary criterion.
