• Foundational knowledge of information security and frameworks such as NIST CSF or ISO 27001.
• Exposure to compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GLBA/FFIEC) is a plus.
• Experience with or willingness to learn GRC/compliance platforms (e.g., Vanta, Drata, CyberSaint, ProcessUnity, OneTrust, UpGuard, Cynomi).
• Exposure to vulnerability management tools (e.g., Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7) is a plus.
