Hiring guide

What to look for in a Cybersecurity freelancer

A strong cybersecurity expert works within authorization and defends your systems, not attacks others. Look for:

  • A defensive, authorized approach scoped to systems you own.
  • Recognized certifications: CISSP, CEH, OSCP, or Security+.
  • Clear risk reporting that ranks issues by impact.
  • Hands-on remediation help, not just a list of findings.
  • Discretion with sensitive data and a willingness to sign an NDA.

Define scope and get written authorization before any testing begins, and keep it limited to systems you control.
