STORM Guidance is a leading cyber incident response team founded in 2014.
Based in the UK with offices in the US and Mauritius, we are looking for a self-motivated and seasoned IT and information security professional with an inquisitive mind.
The ideal candidate will have broad experience and technical excellence, and the ability to maintain a cool head whilst empathising with clients suffering cyber incidents across a range of sectors.
The Senior Digital Investigator serves as a tactical arm of STORM Guidance Cyber Incident Response team services. The main function of this role is to drive deep expertise and experience in computer incident response, IT investigations, and digital forensics throughout service delivery operations.

Our casework is mainly cyber insurance-driven, and predominantly financially motivated data breaches. However, cases can sometimes involve insider misuse and ideology-driven attacks aimed at information gathering/data theft, disruption, fraud, and extortion. Real domain expertise, mixed with the ability to execute and mastery of relevant technologies must produce investigative conclusions that ultimately stand scrutiny in the court of law.
The position operates in close coordination with our legal partners to drive rapid mobilisation, source identification, containment, and quantification of informational losses in response to cyberattacks, both immediately post-incident and occasionally whilst in progress.
