Job description

We're seeking a precise, persistent, and coachable Junior Information Security & Compliance Analyst to join our team. Reporting to the Information Security & Compliance Analyst, this role is the execution engine of Veracity's security and compliance program – carrying the recurring, deadline-driven work that keeps the program credible and audit-ready across Veracity, Insurance Canopy, and InsCipher. This is a deliberately structured entry-level role – the incumbent is not expected to arrive with deep security experience, but is expected to be precise, persistent, and coachable, and to build real technical and audit depth on the job. Over time, this person should take full ownership of the recurring compliance calendar and become the company's second line of security response.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor security dashboards, alerts, and logs across AWS, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Grafana – triage, document disposition, and escalat per established runbooks
• Run recurring vulnerability scans across cloud, endpoint, and application surfaces – maintain the remediation tracker, drive follow-up with system owners, and verify and close findings within defined SLAs
• Serve as first-line triage for employee-reported phishing and security questions – escalating confirmed issues promptly with context already gathered
• Support incident response as first responder and scribe – capture the timeline, preserve evidence, maintain ticket hygiene, and draft the post-incident summary and lessons learned for senior review
• Maintain coverage and health of security tooling including MFA enrollment, endpoint agents, logging agents, and email security – and report gaps
• Execute user access provisioning, role changes, and deprovisioning tied to onboarding and termination – confirming same-day removal of access for departures
• Run quarterly user access reviews end to end – pull system reports, distribute to owners, chase responses, document and route exceptions, and file completed evidence
• Enforce least-privilege and role-based access practices in day-to-day requests – flagging standing privileges and orphaned accounts for remediation
• Maintain accurate records of privileged accounts, service accounts, and third-party access across business units
• Collect, organize, and continuously refresh audit evidence for SOC 2 and PCI DSS – owning the evidence repository so that auditor and customer requests can be answered efficiently
• Support SOC 2 and PCI DSS audit cycles – track requests, meet internal due dates, and prepare materials for auditor communications led by senior staff
• Maintain the policy and procedure library including version control, the annual review calendar, approval records, and employee attestation tracking
• Support vendor risk assessments – collect SOC 2 reports, DPAs, and security questionnaires, maintain the vendor inventory, and flag gaps for senior review
• Perform assigned internal control testing and document results with evidence that supports audit requirements, under the guidance of senior staff
• Draft responses to customer and carrier security questionnaires and diligence requests for review by the Information Security & Compliance Analyst
• Maintain the asset inventory and security awareness training program including completion tracking and follow-up with non-completers
• Build and maintain security and compliance metrics reporting – open vulnerabilities, SLA performance, access review status, and training completion
• Write and maintain runbooks, SOPs, and checklists for recurring work so that it is repeatable and transferable
• Partner with IT, Engineering, Compliance, Legal, and Service teams so that controls are applied consistently without unnecessary friction to the business
• Identify repetitive security and compliance tasks that can be automated or streamlined and propose improvements
• Required to perform other duties as requested, directed, or assigned

Requirements and Qualifications

• 0–2 years of professional experience – internships, IT helpdesk or support, systems administration, or audit and compliance support all count; this role is intended to be a first or second job in security
• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, IT, Cybersecurity, or a related field – or equivalent practical experience or a relevant certification in lieu of a degree
• Working familiarity with at least one major cloud or productivity platform – AWS, Microsoft 365/Azure, or Google Workspace – including where users, permissions, and logs live
• Demonstrated ability to own recurring, detail-heavy work to completion without reminders
• Comfort with spreadsheets, ticketing systems such as Jira, and documentation tools
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills – able to ask a busy system owner for evidence and actually get it, and to write documentation an auditor will accept
• Sound judgment and discretion handling sensitive, regulated, and confidential information including customer PII and NPI
• Coachability and genuine curiosity about security – willing to be taught and willing to say "I don't know" early rather than let an item quietly slip
• Composure under pressure during audits, incidents, and deadlines

Perks

• Health, dental, and vision plans
• Amazing work-life balance with 4 weeks of Paid Time Off
• 10 Paid Company Holidays with 2 floating holidays
• 401K Programs with employer match
• Personal assistance programs for support in a healthy personal and work life
