Responsibilities

Drive ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type II attestation initiatives end-to-end — from initial gap analysis and control design through evidence collection, audit coordination, and successful certification to support NetBrain’s new SaaS business.
Build and mature NetBrain’s GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) program — conduct risk assessments, maintain the risk register, define control owners, and produce compliance reporting that gives leadership clear visibility into security posture.
Translate compliance framework requirements into practical, scalable security policies, standards, and procedures and partner with cross-functional teams (engineering, product, legal, IT) to embed them into daily operations and product development workflows.
Define and enforce IAM (Identity & Access Management) standards — including SSO, MFA, RBAC, and periodic access reviews — across both corporate IT and SaaS product environments to satisfy audit requirements and enforce least-privilege principles.
Implement and manage SIEM platforms for centralized security monitoring, log aggregation, and alerting to meet audit evidence requirements and provide real-time threat visibility across cloud and on-premise infrastructure.
Own the vulnerability management lifecycle — deploy and operate scanning tools, define remediation SLAs, track closure rates, and report on risk reduction metrics to demonstrate continuous improvement to auditors and stakeholders.
Develop and maintain incident response plans, playbooks, and escalation procedures aligned with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 control requirements; lead tabletop exercises and coordinate response during security events.
Evaluate and manage third-party vendor risk — conduct security assessments of SaaS vendors and partners, manage security questionnaires, and maintain a supplier risk register aligned with compliance framework requirements.
Design and deliver security awareness training programs that drive adoption of security best practices across the organization and satisfy compliance training requirements for both ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
Serve as the trusted security subject matter expert across business units — communicate risks and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and ensure IT security readiness directly supports the launch and growth of NetBrain’s SaaS product.
