Job Description
Intelance is a UK based consulting firm and a IASME Certification Body across Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, and IASME Cyber Assurance. We also deliver ISO 27001 implementation and audit support to mid-market and enterprise clients across the UK and Europe.
We are building a selective associate panel to support a growing book of Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus engagements. This is not an employment role. It is a long-term associate relationship for experienced assessors who want steady, well run work, named inclusion on our panel, and a professional home that treats assurance delivery as a craft.
Tasks
- Conduct Cyber Essentials self-assessment reviews against the current IASME question set and issue certification decisions within agreed service levels.
- Deliver Cyber Essentials Plus technical audits, including vulnerability scanning, authenticated scans, sample device testing, multi-factor authentication validation, and malware protection checks.
- Write clear, defensible assessment reports and certification recommendations.
- Guide client technical contacts through remediation where gaps are identified, without drifting into paid consultancy during the certification window.
- Maintain evidence and audit trails to IASME Certification Body standards.
- Participate in internal calibration sessions to keep assessment quality consistent across the panel.
- Where capacity and interest align, support adjacent work across IASME Cyber Assurance Level 1 and Level 2 and ISO 27001 readiness.
Requirements
- Current or recently held IASME assessor licence for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, or equivalent hands-on delivery experience with a willingness to be licensed under Intelance.
- Minimum three years delivering Cyber Essentials Plus technical audits in the UK market.
- Strong working knowledge of the five Cyber Essentials controls, the current question set, and common interpretation edge cases.
- Practical experience with vulnerability scanning tooling used for Cyber Essentials Plus.
- Confident engaging directly with client IT and security leads, including SME owners and enterprise CISO teams.
- Based in the UK, with the right to work in the UK.
- Able to operate outside IR35 through a limited company, or willing to engage on a compliant basis.
- Willing to be listed publicly as an Associate Assessor of Intelance, including on LinkedIn, while on the panel.
- Excellent written English. Reports must be client-ready without heavy editing.
Desirable:
- ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor certification.
- Experience with IASME Cyber Assurance, NIST CSF, or SOC 2 readiness.
- Sector depth in financial services, healthcare, SaaS, or private equity-backed mid-market.
Benefits
- Competitive day rate and per certification fee structure.
- Right of first refusal on engagements matched to your sector and availability.
- Named inclusion on the Intelance Cyber Assurance panel page and proposal credentials.
- Co-branded continuing professional development sessions and quarterly calibration workshops.
- Referral fee of up to 10 percent of net first year fees for associate originated client work.
- Direct access to the Intelance delivery leadership. No sub-sub-contracting. No layers.
- Clean tooling, templates, and quality frameworks so you spend time assessing, not formatting.
Apply with your CV, your current IASME licence status, and a one-paragraph note on the most complex Cyber Essentials Plus audit you have delivered and how you handled it.
