Who we are

The Cyber and Fraud Centre is Scotland’s only cyber social enterprise. Our mission as a socially driven organisation is to deliver accessible, affordable, and relevant cyber and fraud services. With our dedicated team, we protect organisations all over Scotland by offering professional services, skills, and community building. The Cyber and Fraud Centre has established itself as an authoritative voice in the realm of cyber safety and resilience ensuring a safer and more robust business landscape in Scotland.

Our values: integrity, ethical and making a difference are at the heart of everything we do. We ensure that all private, public and third sector organisations we work with have access to our people and resources, to stay secure. We are dedicated to promoting cybersecurity and providing comprehensive support within the business sector. We achieve this through the delivery of education and preventative training, as well as actively raising awareness of threats throughout the business community and providing support in the event of an incident. It is our intention that organisations have the skills and knowledge to protect themselves against online attacks.

We are a small, high performing team with a focus on genuine care and respect for one another as we work to bring cyber safety to organisations around Scotland. The threat landscape is constantly evolving, and this is an exciting time to join us as we continue to grow and expand our services. Due to the volume of calls we received from individual victims of fraud and cyber crimes, we created a charity, Cyber and Fraud Hub to provide support to individuals, which this role will also support.

We have an internal culture and well-being group, and we meet to discuss what we have been doing, and what new things we can do to further enhance the experience for employees. This has led to us implementing a 4-day working week.
