Identity & Cyber Engineering

Identity is the specialism. Cyber engineering is the backbone.

Engagement

Four ways to bring us in.

Pick the model that fits the role, the budget and the timeline.

Contract Day Rate

Contract Placement

Need a specialist on a day-rate basis? We source and vet identity, governance and cyber engineering contractors, with tax status and accredited payment already sorted, so you're covered from day one.

Permanent Fee Basis

Permanent Hire

Looking to build out your team permanently? We headhunt specialist identity and cyber engineering talent on a fee basis, backed by a standard replacement guarantee.

Blended Tailored

Global & Blended Teams

Have cost or coverage constraints a single-market hire can't solve? Talk to us about blended onshore/offshore delivery models tailored to your engagement.

Advisory Fixed Scope

Advisory & Workshops

Need a second opinion before you hire? We run fixed-scope assessments and roadmap sessions: current-state reviews, tooling rationalization, target operating model workshops, delivered by a practitioner, not a generalist consultant.

Why Us

We know identity and cyber because we've built it.

Demand Cyber is run by cyber and identity specialists who've configured SailPoint, Okta, Entra ID, Netskope and Proofpoint in production (just to name a few). We only place contractors we'd trust on our own programmes.

01

Built It Ourselves

Our founders have designed connectors, written provisioning rules and run certification campaigns in production identity governance.

02

Vetted by Practitioners

CISSP-certified identity professionals screen every contractor, people who've done the work.

03

Platform-Level Depth

We test on specifics: SailPoint rules and workflows, Okta lifecycle hooks, Entra conditional access.

04

A Practitioner on Every Call

Scoping is with someone who's delivered identity programmes, not a recruiter reading a spec.

05

Placed Where You Need Them

Contractors aligned to your hours, your regulators and your change process, across six countries.

06

Adjacent Depth When Needed

When identity touches email, secure web access or edge, we bring Proofpoint, Netskope and Cloudflare engineers too.

Locations

Talent hubs in six countries.

Each hub is a base for our local specialists, who work on-site with your team or remotely. The same practitioner vetting applies wherever your team sits.

Screened on the platform, not the CV.

Our SailPoint IdentityIQ upgrade had stalled twice. Their contractor had it back on track in a month. He had clearly done this exact upgrade before.

We moved 4,000 staff onto Microsoft Entra ID without a single lost weekend. The scoping call alone was more useful than most consultancy proposals.

Our Netskope rollout had been sitting half-configured for a year. Their engineer had data loss policies live across every site within six weeks.
