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.
