About The Position

Endsight is looking for a Senior Compliance & Governance Analyst to help clients navigate cybersecurity compliance, governance, and risk management with clarity and structure.

It also supports Endsight's internal governance and data protection efforts. This is a client-facing advisory, coordination, and implementation role. Endsight is not an auditing firm and does not perform formal audits. Instead, this position helps clients prepare for, understand, and manage compliance efforts across frameworks such as CMMC, ISO 27001, HIPAA, SOC 2, CIS, and NIST. The ideal candidate is organized, highly communicative, strong in technical writing, comfortable managing multiple stakeholders, and able to translate complex compliance requirements into practical next steps.
