REMOTE-Information Security Associate Consultant - ISO 27001-Audit

Remote - Hamilton Township, New Jersey, United States


If you thrive in a dynamic environment, like challenges, and believe work and fun are not mutually exclusive, then maybe you’re the one we’re looking for. We need team players who are smart and creative, who love IT assurance, and who want to grow with a growing company.

We are looking for the “right” person with ISO 27001 Audit experience to join our team as a GRC (Governance, Risk Management and Compliance) Associate Consultant to work in a collaborative fashion with our clients to help them manage Information Security & compliance risk as well as prove the same to management and customers.


ALL APPLICANTS SHOULD HAVE ISO 27001 AUDIT EXPERIENCE (INTERNAL and/or EXTERNAL).

We expect this person will:

  • Track and ensure adequate and timely resolution to all audit and risk assessment findings or issues relating to information security, and never miss a deadline.
  • Effectively and appropriately communicate audit engagement reports and recommendations to client management and resolve any client concerns or questions.
  • Meet/exceed defined contribution goals for services you will deliver.
  • Achieve target Net Promoter Scores for your service by managing client relationships.
  • Ensure 100% certification success rate on ISMS projects.
  • Earn and gain the trust and respect of the PPS team.

Requirements

The right person HAS the following characteristics (these are “non-negotiable”):

  • Has very high “Self-Expectation” (self-motivated, self-aware, self–disciplined, self-improving, and self-governed). You hold yourself to a higher standard than others do.
  • Enjoys work and life, values a balance, and is looking for a company that shares those ideals (understands that you do not get a second chance to see your child’s first school play and that it does not matter if the report gets done at 3:00 PM or 10:00 PM, if it gets done).
  • Highly consultative and collaborative nature; someone who enjoys helping others achieve ambitious business and information assurance goals.
  • Effectively and proactively communicates in writing/speech both internally/externally from the server room to the board room.
  • The ability to “work from anywhere” as this role is remote/virtual in nature.
  • A good sense of humor and the ability to laugh at themselves.

  • Experience leading information security engagements with a preference for IS0 27001 and SOC 2 audits or assessments
  • Experience authoring policies and procedures
  • Experience working as a consultant working in a consulting firm managing multiple client projects.
  • Knowledge of ISO 27001/2 and its derivatives (e.g., HITRUST, Shared Assessment) as much of our consulting and collaboration is around an ISO 27001 Information Security Management System.
  • Knowledge of the NIST 800-171/FISMA/CMMC framework and is derivatives (e.g., Fed RAMP, CMS Information Security Program) as many of our clients serve government customers.
  • Knowledge of ISO 27701/CCPA/GDPR Privacy frameworks.
  • Experience with ISO 22301 and Business Continuity.
  • Enough Information Technology and Information Security experience to contextualize and make their recommendations relevant and valuable.

  • Prior experience developing services for delivery and managing a team.
  • Certifications that demonstrate to our clients our commitment to excellence in our craft (e.g., ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, CISA, CISSP, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, CCSA, MCSE, CEH, OSCP).
