SOC Analyst L1

About This Job

NTISB (National Telecommunication and Information Security Board) is hiring two SOC Analyst L1 officers, PPS-7, on a contract basis, to work within its Islamabad-based Security Operations Centre, as advertised on the National Jobs Portal. This is the entry tier of NTISB's three-level SOC analyst structure, sitting beneath the L2 and L3 roles also being advertised in the same recruitment round, and is intended for analysts at the earlier stage of their SOC career who are ready to take on frontline monitoring responsibilities within a federal cyber-security environment. With two vacancies open, this batch offers a relatively accessible entry point into NTISB's technical operations, giving candidates who successfully perform in this tier a realistic path toward the L2 and L3 analyst roles the organization has advertised in parallel.

To be eligible, candidates need a Bachelor's degree, equivalent to 16 years of education, in Cybersecurity, Information Security, Computer Science, or a related field. Certifications related to incident handling, SOC operations, or offensive security are described as preferable additions, though not mandatory at this entry tier. On experience, applicants must have a minimum of 4 years of total experience, with at least 2 years being recent, hands-on experience specifically as a SOC analyst. Day-to-day responsibilities for this post include preparing shift handover reports, actively monitoring security sensors for anomalies, and following established escalation protocols whenever a complex incident is identified and needs to be passed up to L2 or L3 analysts. The eligible age range is 26 to 35 years, with the standard five-year general age relaxation already added to the upper limit and no further relaxation admissible. No gender, domicile, or quota restriction is specified in the advertisement, and no application fee is charged, keeping the eligibility criteria for this entry tier comparatively straightforward.

Eligible candidates should apply online through the National Jobs Portal, logging into a PAK-ID verified account or registering for one, completing the application form, and uploading their CV along with educational and experience certificates. No application fee has been specified for this post. The application deadline is 12 October 2026. Given the two seats available and the relatively accessible eligibility criteria compared to NTISB's more senior SOC postings, early-career analysts with a genuine interest in cyber security operations are strongly encouraged to apply before the closing date. As with NTISB's other current postings, the entire recruitment process runs through the National Jobs Portal, from initial application through to shortlisting, testing, and any eventual interview call.
