  • Experience supporting audit preparation, evidence collection, control testing, or ongoing compliance tracking.
  • Experience supporting customer security questionnaires, vendor risk assessments, due diligence requests, or RFP security responses.
  • Experience supporting SaaS, fintech, travel technology, or other regulated technology environments.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms, secure software development practices, and infrastructure security.
  • Experience coordinating external penetration tests or working with third-party security vendors.
