Opportunities in Cyber Security and Risk
Specialist Roles With Teams That Take Security Seriously
MCS Group supports organisations building real cyber security and risk capability, and helps people move into roles where they can design, secure and govern systems at scale. We provide clear insight into security maturity, control gaps, risk ownership and delivery expectations, so both employers and candidates understand what is truly required to build effective, resilient security environments.
Security engineering relies on teams who can turn strategy into systems that perform under pressure. We connect organisations with specialists who strengthen architecture, close control gaps and build secure foundations that scale across real environments.
Offensive security relies on testers who deliver findings that lead to real improvement. We introduce specialists who validate assumptions, guide remediation and help organisations strengthen security posture beyond one-off assessments.
Effective governance depends on people who can turn frameworks into workable practice. We connect organisations with specialists who clarify ownership, stabilise controls and embed repeatable processes that stand up to scrutiny.
Cloud and identity security depends on engineers who can secure access at scale. We match organisations with specialists who strengthen configuration, refine identity models and support resilient, secure cloud operations.

How Can We Help?

I need to hire a SOC Analyst
At MCS, hiring a SOC analyst means focusing on impact, not just coverage. Organisations are introduced to analysts who improve visibility, reduce alert noise and strengthen response capability. This includes professionals experienced in triage, escalation and real incident handling across modern security operations.
I need to build or scale my SOC
At MCS, building or scaling a SOC is approached as a capability challenge, not a headcount exercise. Structured hiring support helps align people, tooling and processes, with guidance on seniority mix, progression and long-term operational effectiveness.
I need specialist Incident Response expertise
At MCS, access to experienced incident response, DFIR and threat specialists is available when speed and judgement matter most. These professionals are brought in to support time-critical investigations, containment and recovery across complex environments.
I am looking for SOC jobs
At MCS, SOC jobs are matched to environments where analysis and decision-making genuinely matter. Candidates are introduced to roles with clear escalation paths, realistic workloads and the tooling needed to support effective detection and response.
I want to grow my career as a Threat Hunter or Incident Responder
At MCS, career guidance is shaped around progression, not titles. Support focuses on the skills, experience and role pathways that help analysts move into threat hunting and advanced incident response work with clarity and momentum.
I want to speak with a SOC recruiter
At MCS, speaking with a SOC recruiter means having a practical conversation about options. Whether hiring or exploring roles, discussions focus on understanding environments, priorities and next steps, rather than pushing unsuitable opportunities.
SOC Capability Is Proven in the Moments That Matter
SOC, Threat and Incident Response teams are tested in real time. Alert volume, incomplete context and fast escalation expose gaps quickly. SOC analyst jobs, threat hunter jobs and incident response jobs differ most in how decisions are made under pressure. Hiring well means understanding those moments and finding people who can act decisively when it counts.
Designed Around How SOCs Actually Function
Detection quality, investigation depth and response speed are shaped by day-to-day reality. We focus on alert prioritisation, handovers and decision points, drawing on experience supporting SOC jobs, SOC engineer jobs and threat hunter jobs across varied environments. This gives us clear insight into what truly strengthens security operations.
Learn MoreImproving Signal, Not Adding Noise
SOC performance improves when the right capability is added at the right point. Whether that means sharpening alert logic, deepening investigation or strengthening response structure, we connect teams with specialists who reduce friction and raise confidence across detection and response.
Meet Our ConsultantsMomentum Without Chaos
SOC hiring rarely happens in calm conditions. We keep processes moving with clear communication, realistic expectations and fast decision cycles, helping teams hire without adding pressure or uncertainty to already demanding environments.
See Our AwardsHiring That Matches Operational Reality
Every SOC has different pressure points. Some need stronger monitoring, others need proactive threat hunting or experienced incident response support. We shape recruitment around how your operation actually runs, aligning SOC jobs and response roles to the risks you face today.
