Bridewell is one of the fastest growing Cyber Security services businesses, that has a strong track record for delivering complex projects and providing excellent customer service. Bridewell has an exciting and varied portfolio of clients across Critical National Infrastructure, Financial Services, Government and more. Our story to-date has been phenomenal, but success doesn't end here and as we continue to grow and scale, we want to keep the same culture, passion and commitment to high quality that has enabled us to get this far. Bridewell holds the Gold level, Investors in People award which we feel solidifies and reflects on the outstanding calibre that makes us truly One Team.
By integrating Bridewell's Cyber Security Consulting with focused training in Security Architecture and Cloud Security, the Bridewell Academy equips candidates with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in today's cyber security landscape. This holistic approach not only enhances academic offerings but also prepares candidates for successful careers in this critical field, ensuring they are well-equipped to tackle evolving cyber threats.

In the first three months of the Bridewell Academy, you will undergo comprehensive onboarding, where you will have the opportunity to meet your manager and assigned buddy, who will guide you through the initial stages of your journey. During this period, you will gain exposure to our Security and Compliance team, allowing you to familiarise yourself and gain a better understanding of Cyber Security. Additionally, you will complete the SANS Foundations course and become acquainted with our learning management systems, setting a solid foundation for your professional development.

As you progress into the three to six-month mark, you will join your designated squad and begin working on client-facing projects, where you'll apply your skills in real-world scenarios. This hands-on experience will be invaluable as you collaborate with team members and contribute to client deliverables.
Between six to eighteen months, you will continue working on client-facing projects both independently and as a team, enhancing your practical experience in the field. During this time, you will focus on completing essential certifications, including the ISO 27001 Lead Implementer and Auditor courses, as well as the Certificate in Information Security Management Principles (CISMP). Achieving these qualifications will further prepare you for your future role, culminating in your pathway to becoming academy certified. This structured progression ensures that you are well-equipped with the knowledge and experience needed to thrive in the cybersecurity landscape.
