Overview


We are hiring a Security & Compliance Analyst to support multiple client environments with a focus on security operations, compliance readiness, and risk management. This role is hands-on and execution-focused, working closely with client IT leadership and internal teams to ensure security controls are effective, documented, and consistently maintained.


The Security & Compliance Analyst owns day-to-day security and compliance activities across clients, helping translate security findings into actionable remediation and keeping environments audit-ready without unnecessary complexity.

Key Responsibilities


Security Operations & Governance


  • Lead recurring security posture reviews with client IT teams

  • Review SOC findings, open risks, threat trends, and prioritized remediation actions

  • Track security posture and risk over time, not just during audits

Compliance & Documentation


  • Serve as the primary resource for compliance-related activities across security platforms

  • Maintain audit-ready documentation including policies, procedures, evidence, risk registers, and remediation logs

  • Document security system configurations, changes, and control maturity

  • Produce artifacts to support annual assessments and client audit requests

Access Control & Identity

  • Enforce least-privilege access standards

  • Manage and document access models and reporting visibility for stakeholders

Reporting & Metrics


  • Configure and maintain automated security and compliance reporting

  • Deliver regular reports covering incidents, vulnerabilities, SLAs, and compliance status

  • Clearly communicate security findings to both technical and non-technical audiences

Vulnerability & Risk Management


  • Review vulnerability scan results and security findings

  • Partner with IT teams to prioritize remediation based on risk and business impact

  • Track remediation progress and validate closure of findings

Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity


  • Support Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity planning activities

  • Participate in tabletop exercises and incident simulations

  • Document outcomes, gaps, and lessons learned

Client & Internal Support


  • Provide security and compliance support across multiple client environments

  • Assist with security assessments, gap analyses, and remediation planning

  • Help standardize security processes, documentation, and reporting across clients

  • Serve as an internal subject-matter expert for security and compliance best practices

Required Experience & Skills


  • 3–5+ years of experience in IT security, compliance, risk management, or related roles

  • Strong understanding of security operations, SOC workflows, and vulnerability management

  • Experience supporting audits or compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, NIST, CIS, or ISO

  • Proven ability to create and maintain clear, organized, audit-ready documentation

  • Experience implementing RBAC and least-privilege access models

  • Comfortable working across multiple environments with varying levels of security maturity

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

Preferred (Not Required)


  • Experience in a managed services or consulting environment

  • Familiarity with MDR, SIEM, vulnerability scanning, and cloud security platforms

  • Experience supporting tabletop exercises or incident response planning

  • Security certifications such as Security+, CISSP, CISM, or similar

What Success Looks Like


  • Security risks are clearly documented, prioritized, and tracked to resolution

  • Audits and assessments are predictable and well-supported

  • Security documentation is current, accurate, and usable

  • Clients understand their security posture and next steps

  • Internal teams rely on you as a trusted security and compliance resource

Work Style


  • Organized, accountable, and comfortable owning outcomes

  • Able to manage multiple priorities without losing attention to detail

  • Practical, risk-focused, and business-aware

  • Willing to raise concerns when something is insecure, undocumented, or unclear


Flexible work from home options available.
