Support for key projects
remains the primary reason
that employers use interim
staff, and we are seeing
more organisations hire
contractors to shore up thirdparty vulnerabilities, ensure
SOC 2 compliance and deliver
penetration testing.
Within the data privacy space,
project work is less abundant
than during the heady days of
preparing for GDPR. As many
GDPR roles switch to a more
operational focus, contractors
are beginning to shift their
attention to new ventures.
Top ways employers are accessing flexible cyber security and data privacy resource:
PAYE: 6%
Temp agency: 35%
Fixed term contract: 45%
Umbrella company: 14%
According to Barclay Simpson data
Candidates are particularly interested in exciting
opportunities at start-ups, such as big data
privacy programmes where they can be fully
involved in the project from beginning to end.
