About the Role

Our GRC team runs the certification and audit programs that let security-conscious enterprises, regulated industries, and government customers adopt our cloud products with confidence. As our Cybersecurity GRC Analyst, you'll support the team across governance, risk, compliance, and customer trust work, and you'll own our annual security awareness training campaign.

Audit and Compliance Support

  • Learn our FedRAMP program and support the FedRAMP ISSO as needed.
  • Gather and organize evidence for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits.
  • Confirm evidence meets each request and prepare it for review before it goes to auditors.

Governance and Risk Support

  • Coordinate security policy updates: route policies for review and approval, publish approved versions, and keep version history and change records.
  • Recommend improvements to team processes, status reporting, and work priorities.
  • Support vendor risk work by tracking annual recertification of critical vendors and sending information requests to vendors.
  • Provide administrative support for the cyber risk register, including intake of new risk information.
  • Use our GRC platform (Vanta) and help find ways to automate manual tasks and evidence collection.
