All 15 roles on this page can be hired as single seats or combined into a squad, from SOC Analyst and Cloud Security Engineer to Virtual CISO. Each draws on the same specialist bench and follows the same terms: named candidates within 72 hours and a start within 4 working days for bench specialists.
We check every certification with the issuing body, such as ISC2, ISACA, OffSec, GIAC or CREST, before a profile is shown. The certification filter on this page only displays verified credentials. Expired or unverifiable credentials are removed from the profile until the specialist provides current proof.
A SOC Analyst responds to alerts: triage, investigation, containment and reporting under defined SLAs. A Threat Intelligence and Threat Hunting Analyst works without an alert, forming hypotheses about attacker behaviour and searching telemetry for evidence. Mature SOCs need both, which is why our 24/7 SOC Squad includes a dedicated hunter seat.
Yes. The Virtual CISO role is offered at Senior and Lead levels on a fractional or programme basis, covering strategy, board reporting, regulator relationships and certification programmes. Hours are agreed in the Statement of Work, and the same quality responsibility and replacement terms apply as for full-time seats.
On-site seats are priced as full on-site seats from USD 7,500 a month, and roles that require client security clearance carry a modifier; both are shown as separate lines in your quotation. Remote seats follow the standard Mid, Senior and Lead bands. On-site seats start within 4 working days too; where the client requires a security clearance, the 4 days count from the date it is granted.
