Morphology
The noun phrase is transparently compositional: 'security' specifies the domain and 'consultant' denotes a professional advisor, so a learner who knows both words can infer it means a professional who advises on security matters. Although 'security' can cover physical or digital areas, that domain ambiguity does not prevent a B1 learner from understanding the general occupational meaning, and the modifier+head compound pattern is cross-linguistically common.
Etymology
Security consultant comes from two simple ideas: security (keeping things safe) and consultant (an expert who gives advice). Imagine a guard who studies a building and tells the owner where to put locks and alarms, and that's why a 'security consultant' helps protect property and stop break-ins.
