Security Consultant Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last few years helping organisations tighten their security posture in practical, implementable ways. In my last role, I focused on turning complex threat models into clear requirements, and I helped a mid-sized retailer cut their external risk surface by 40% within six months using a structured set of security specs and governance checks. I’m comfortable guiding clients through security requirements analysis, design principles, and practical compliance steps, and I’m comfortable working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. In this role, I’d bring solid experience in requirements analysis, threat modelling, and developing security specifications that align with business goals. I’ve supported clients to articulate security needs, translate them into concrete controls, and communicate trade-offs clearly. I’ve also helped teams remember that governance and risk management are ongoing, not one-off tasks, which leads to more durable security outcomes over time. A recent project stands out. At [Previous Company], I advised a financial services client on security requirements for a new payments platform. I led the threat modelling activity, defined security controls, and produced a concise specification pack for the engineering team. The result was a smoother audit path and a clearer allocation of responsibility across governance, security and product teams, with feedback loops that significantly improved issue detection during integration testing. I’m keen to discuss how I can support [Company Name] in designing practical security specs and guiding clients through the process. I’m available for a chat at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
