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 uses the same basic idea of an expert who keeps things safe, but for computers and networks: security (keeping things safe) and consultant (an expert who gives advice). Picture a detective for computer systems who finds weak spots and shows the team how to fix them, so a 'security consultant' helps protect data and stop hackers.
