Why offshore

Why hire an AI Security Engineer offshore

AI security is a new discipline with almost no established UK hiring pool. A dedicated offshore AISec engineer lets you build the capability now, before an AI-specific breach forces the issue.

Whichever hub fits the role — Sri Lanka or the Philippines — TalentDock is the legal employer. We handle contracts, payroll, equipment, IT and HR, and cover the data-protection footing (DPA and the UK IDTA for restricted transfers). Because your hire is employed overseas and works wholly outside the UK, there’s no employer NIC, no auto-enrolment pension, and no IR35 status determination for you to make.

General information, not legal or tax advice — confirm your position with a qualified UK adviser.

The saving

A dedicated AI Security Engineer for up to 70% less

Compared with the true cost of a UK hire — salary, NICs, pension, equipment and recruitment fees — one all-in monthly fee, one invoice.

FAQ

Common questions

Isn't our normal security enough?

No — prompt injection, memory poisoning and agent-permission abuse are AI-specific and fall outside traditional tooling and skills.

What do they secure first?

Usually your highest-exposure AI features — customer-facing chat, agents with tool access, and RAG over sensitive data.

Is the talent even available?

It’s scarce everywhere, which is why offshore access to it is a genuine advantage.
