About The Position

The Senior Information Security Analyst is a senior individual contributor responsible for advancing SIS's information security program and for leading the company's effort to achieve and maintain ISO 27001 certification. This individual owns the day-to-day operation of the Information Security Management System (ISMS)—risk assessment, control implementation, policy development, internal audit readiness, and evidence collection—and serves as the primary respondent to client cyber security surveys, questionnaires, and third-party assessments. The role is measured by steady, incremental progress against SIS's published security objectives across the cloud, identity, endpoint, and network environment, as well as the physical security technologies deployed at SIS offices and at client sites monitored by the Fusion Center. SIS operates a predominantly Apple environment (approximately 90% macOS) supporting a 24/7 Global Security Operations Center. The Senior Information Security Analyst works within an ITIL-based operational framework and reports directly to the Director of Technology. This is an individual contributor role without direct reports. The Senior Information Security Analyst operates as a peer to the Senior Manager of IT Infrastructure and Senior Manager of Applications and works closely with the IT Infrastructure, Applications, Help Desk, and Fusion Center teams to implement and validate security controls across the enterprise. The position carries functional authority for security requirements and compliance obligations, influencing technical direction through subject matter expertise rather than direct supervision.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a similar field, and relevant experience; equivalent combination of education and experience will be considered
7+ years of progressive information security experience, at least 4 of which in a hands-on security engineering or systems administration capacity in a cloud-first environment
Demonstrated ability to design security architecture and implement and configure controls directly, including scripting and platform integration for automation (such as Python, Bash, or API-driven workflows); this is a hands-on engineering and operations role rather than an audit or advisory role
Strong working knowledge of security tooling, including endpoint detection and response (SentinelOne or similar), vulnerability management platforms, email security, and SIEM
Working knowledge of identity and access management concepts, including Single Sign-On, multi-factor authentication, least-privilege role-based access, and periodic access reviews across Active Directory/Entra ID and a modern IdP (Okta, Ping, JumpCloud, or similar)
Experience securing cloud and SaaS platforms (such as Google Workspace, Box, AWS, and Azure) in a predominantly Apple/macOS environment (approximately 90% Mac) with some Windows
Experience assessing and hardening enterprise business applications such as Salesforce, ERP platforms (Sage Intacct or similar), workforce management or scheduling platforms, and custom-developed applications, including role-based permission models, segregation of duties, integration and API security, and audit logging
Working knowledge of application security and secure development practices, including the OWASP Top 10, dependency and vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and secure SDLC, is a strong plus
Working knowledge of physical security technologies, including video management systems and IP camera platforms and access control and badge systems (such as Genetec, Milestone, Avigilon, Verkada, Lenel, or similar), and the network, hardening, and data protection considerations associated with them
Familiarity with AI-based detection and video analytics capabilities and their operational, accuracy, and privacy implications is a strong plus
Demonstrated experience implementing, achieving, or maintaining ISO 27001 certification, or a comparable framework such as SOC 2, NIST CSF, or NIST 800-53, including risk assessment, control implementation, evidence collection, and audit support
Direct experience completing client and third-party cyber security surveys and security questionnaires (such as CAIQ, SIG, HECVAT, or custom client formats) and maintaining the supporting evidence repository
Understanding of privacy and data protection requirements (such as CCPA/CPRA, GDPR, and BIPA) as they apply to surveillance, biometric, and access control data
Familiarity with ITIL operational processes (incident, problem, change, and configuration management) and the ability to work effectively within a structured operations environment
Excellent documentation, analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills, with the ability to explain security requirements to both technical and non-technical audiences and deliver a high level of customer service
Must be a dependable team player with business maturity, enthusiasm, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively
