Securing the
Cloud-First Enterprise

Contract | Security Architecture & SOC | Public Sector

A large county council was midway through one of the most ambitious technology transformation programmes in UK local government – cloud migration to Azure, SDWAN/SASE network modernisation and M365 rollout. They needed specialist security resource fast, without lengthy procurement delays.

InvitISE placed two senior cyber security specialists on contract. A Security Architect to lead enterprise-wide security architecture across the full transformation programme, covering cloud migration, network modernisation and ISO 27001 alignment. And a Security Operations Manager to build out the council’s monitoring and incident response capability, integrate a third-party SIEM vendor and drive the organisation’s move to Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

Both placements delivered on time. The Security Operations Manager embedded into the Technology Services leadership team and led the Cyber Essentials Plus certification programme.

Contract | Security Infrastructure | Financial Services

A financial services firm in Greater Manchester needed an experienced Security Infrastructure Engineer at short notice – someone who could operate across a hybrid Windows and AWS environment, manage firewalls and endpoint security, and work without hand-holding from day one. Tight timescales and a specialist skill set that generalist recruiters consistently struggle to fill.

InvitISE placed a Security Infrastructure Engineer on a 3-month contract. The candidate covered the full stack – Windows Server, Active Directory, AWS, firewalls, Office 365 and endpoint security – and was on-site within days of brief.

Placement delivered to brief, on time.

Contract | Field Engineering | MSP / Financial Services

A London-based MSP had suffered a wave of attrition across their field engineering team, leaving them exposed across their asset management and financial services client base. Customer-facing roles with no margin for downtime. They needed quality engineers fast – people who could represent them professionally on-site at demanding finance clients.

InvitISE placed 6 Field Engineers across London, all deployed on-site at asset management and financial services organisations. Each engineer brought solid hands-on skills across the Microsoft stack, M365 and security — the combination needed to operate confidently in regulated, client-facing environments.

All 6 positions filled. Attrition gap closed without service disruption to the MSP’s client base.

Roles placed: 6 × Field Engineer Engagement: Contract Sector: Managed Services / Financial Services

Permanent | Senior TechOps | Financial Intelligence

A global financial intelligence business with 500 staff across the UK, US and Asia needed a Senior TechOps Engineer who could operate across the full 1st to 3rd line support spectrum while owning infrastructure projects and driving automation. The role required deep M365 expertise across Defender, Intune and Sentinel, plus security tooling experience across Okta, SentinelOne and Fortinet. A rare combination – senior enough to lead, hands-on enough to cover support, and security-literate throughout.

InvitISE sourced and placed a Senior TechOps Engineer into the permanent team, matched to a fast-moving global FinTech with high standards and a clear technical roadmap.

Hard-to-fill permanent role closed.

A major security consultancy had won a contract to build and embed a full Security Operations Centre for a healthcare client from the ground up.

• SOC Team Lead
• SOC Engineers
• SOC Analysts – L1, L2 and L3
• Threat Intelligence Engineers
