  • Understanding of common audit and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, and PCI

  • Expertise in identifying appropriate safeguards and alternative controls

  • Comfort working with complex information from multiple sources and driving clarity

  • Strong project management and prioritization skills to manage a high volume of security assessments
