• You have hands-on experience facilitating risk assessments, compliance risk workshops, control self-assessments, and remediation planning with cross-functional stakeholders.
• You have strong working knowledge of security and privacy frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, or CCPA, and you can quickly assess applicability of new frameworks or regulatory requirements.
• You understand how security and privacy controls operate in modern technology environments, including cloud infrastructure, identity and access management, SDLC, incident response, vendor risk, data governance, and business continuity.
• You can translate legal, regulatory, and framework requirements into clear, tangible control specifications to engineers and explain technical risk in business terms.
