- Deploy and maintain detection tools like SentinelOne, Defender for Cloud/Endpoint, AWS GuardDuty, AlertLogic WAF, and cloud security monitoring that provide real-time visibility into security events.
- Establish processes to review logs and alerts, watch for anomalous behavior or indicators of compromise, and take proactive action when issues arise.
- Manage and administer the organization’s email spam filter, Mimecast, to include developing email filters and executing quarterly phishing exercises.
- Coordinate with external auditors to support security audits, assessments, and certifications such as SOC 1, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.
- Gather evidence of control effectiveness, maintain documentation (policies, procedures, risk assessments, etc.), and remediate any findings or non-conformities identified during audits. Pursue methods to automate artifact collection for annual audits.
- Lead routine internal audits to ensure ongoing compliance with security policies and standards, and drive improvements based on observations.
- Develop and refine security policies, standards, exercises, and guidelines in collaboration with the CTO senior leadership team.
- Ensure that policies address compliance requirements (e.g., access management, data protection, incident response) and are updated regularly.
- Contribute to security awareness training efforts and phishing exercises and educate employees on cybersecurity best practices.
- As a senior member of the security team, be prepared to lead out incident response activities, determine root cause, and impact to COMPLY.
- Tune security tools for better incident detection and participating in post-incident reviews to implement lessons learned.
- Collaborate with Infrastructure, Product, and Engineering teams to ensure security is embedded in development, IT infrastructure, and new projects.
- Advise and assist in implementing system configurations, conducting security design reviews, and recommending enhancements to meet security best practices in cloud-based environments (AWS, Azure.)
