Intelance is a UK-based technology and compliance consultancy that provides on-demand enterprise architecture, cybersecurity compliance, and AI strategy services. Since 2019 it has helped organisations of all sizes design scalable enterprise architectures, achieve certifications such as Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001, and apply AI to optimise operations like supply chains. Intelance positions itself as a partner for digital transformation, offering enterprise architects, cybersecurity specialists, and AI practitioners to support audit-readiness and technology-driven business value.

📋 Description

• Lead ISO 27001:2022 implementation engagements end-to-end: scoping, gap analysis, risk assessment and treatment, Statement of Applicability, policy architecture, control design, internal audit, management review, and support through Stage 1 and Stage 2 external audits. • Design ISMS scopes that are commercially sensible and defensible, not bloated. • Build risk registers and Statements of Applicability that hold up under scrutiny from UKAS-accredited certification bodies. • Author and tailor policies, procedures, and records aligned to Annex A 2022 controls. No generic templates dropped on clients. • Run internal audits and management reviews that generate real findings, not theatre. • Coach client ISMS owners and control owners so the system survives after handover. • Support clients through external audit, including responding to non-conformities and observations. • Where capacity and interest align, extend into IASME Cyber Assurance, NIST CSF, SOC 2 readiness, and supplier assurance work. • Contribute to Intelance delivery standards, templates, and calibration sessions.

🎯 Requirements

• ISO 27001 Lead Implementer and Lead Auditor certifications, both preferred. One is the minimum bar. • Minimum five years hands-on ISO 27001 delivery in the UK or European market. • Personally led at least five ISO 27001 implementations to first certification, or conducted at least twenty ISO 27001 audits. • Fluent in the 2022 transition, Annex A control set, and the practical differences from the 2013 version. • Confident authoring a defensible Statement of Applicability in under a week for a typical mid-market client. • Strong commercial judgement on scope, control proportionality, and residual risk. • Excellent written English. Documents must be board-ready and auditor-ready without heavy editing. • Confident operating with CISOs, CTOs, COOs, and private equity sponsors. • Based in the UK with the right to work in the UK. • Able to operate outside IR35 via a limited company, or on a compliant basis. • Willing to be listed publicly as an Associate of Intelance, including on LinkedIn, while on the panel. • Desirable: IASME Cyber Assurance, Cyber Essentials Plus, NIST CSF, or SOC 2 experience. • CISSP, CISM, or ISO 22301 credentials. • Sector depth in regulated industries: financial services, healthcare, legal, defence supply chain, SaaS. • Experience inside private equity portfolio environments and 100-day security plans.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive day rate, paid on 14-day terms. • Right of first refusal on engagements matched to your sector and availability. • Named inclusion on the Intelance Cyber Assurance panel page and on proposal credentials. • Referral fee of up to 10 percent of net first-year fees for associate-originated client work. • Direct access to delivery leadership. • No layers, no sub-sub-contracting. • Mature templates, tooling, and a quality framework so your time goes into judgement, not formatting. • Quarterly calibration workshops and co-branded continuing professional development. • A professional home for senior practitioners who want steady, well-run work without the politics of a consultancy payroll. • We are deliberately selective. We would rather run a tight panel of five excellent practitioners than a directory of twenty average ones.
