security consultant
Risk assessment expert
A security consultant is a professional who advises organizations on protecting their assets, information, or people from threats.
The term spans two distinct fields: physical security consultants assess vulnerabilities in buildings, access control, and personnel safety, while cybersecurity consultants focus on protecting computer systems and data from breaches.

The role often involves identifying weaknesses, recommending solutions, and sometimes testing defenses through simulated attacks.
