Summary: The role of Cyber Security Architect involves leading the transformation of edge security and access control by migrating from Symantec WSS to Cloudflare One, focusing on establishing a Zero Trust Architecture. This hands-on position requires expertise in architectural design, policy development, deployment, and documentation to secure both managed and unmanaged devices. The architect will collaborate with various stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition and integration of security solutions. The position is remote and classified as outside IR35.
Key Responsibilities:
- Architectural Ratification: Review and improve the initial Cloudflare setup to ensure it meets enterprise-grade security standards.

- Cloudflare One Deployment: Configure and deploy Cloudflare ZTNA and SWG from the ground up, ensuring seamless integration with EntraID.
- Device Posture & Compliance: Implement posture checking via the WARP client to ensure only compliant, patched managed devices can access sensitive data.
- Unmanaged Device Strategy: Configure Secure Browser (Browser Isolation) for guest access to provide restricted, secure environments for non-managed devices.
- Application Onboarding: Successfully onboard a diverse SaaS and dev environment, including M365, Azure, Adobe, Netlify, Sage, Miro, Jira, and GitHub via SSO.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with Identity teams and the Managed Service Provider (MSP) to manage the delicate rollout of the WARP client (ensuring the removal of Symantec WSS to avoid client conflicts).
- Testing & Documentation: Execute rigorous UAT with test groups to prove policy efficacy and provide comprehensive "as-built" documentation for handover to operations.
Key Skills:
- Cloudflare Mastery: Deep, hands-on experience with Cloudflare One, specifically Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and Secure Web Gateway (SWG).
- Zero Trust Expertise: Proven track record of designing and implementing Zero Trust frameworks (Identity-based access, Least Privilege, Continuous Verification).
- Identity Integration: Strong experience integrating Zero Trust solutions with EntraID (Azure AD).
- Endpoint Security: Experience deploying and troubleshooting the Cloudflare WARP client and implementing device posture profiles.
- Legacy Migration: Experience migrating from traditional web proxies (specifically Symantec/Broadcom WSS) to modern SASE platforms.
