GCSE at grades 1 to 3 are level 1. GCSEs at grades 4 to 9 are level 2. A levels are level 3. Three years of uni are levels 4, 5 and 6. (See here.)

I would be very surprised if you could walk straight into a cybersecurity job based upon a level 2 (i.e. GCSE-equivalent) qualification alone.

Search some on-line job sites for cybersecurity jobs and see what level of qualification they're looking for. My guess is that most will be looking for a degree (or several years of experience).
