The role requires hands-on technical leadership with the ability to work on-site in New Jersey, delivering guidance on risk reduction and security posture for clients.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on cybersecurity in MSP/MSSP, healthcare, regulated industry, or similar environment.
• Direct experience supporting compliance programs (HIPAA, SOC 2, cyber insurance requirements) — audits, evidence gathering, remediation.
• Strong technical depth in Microsoft security technologies, identity management, endpoint security, and incident response.
• Comfortable being the senior technical hand on deck, not just directing others.

• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and decision-making skills.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain security and compliance concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong documentation habits and process-oriented mindset.
• Willingness and ability to work full-time on-site at our office.

• Provide day-to-day technical direction and hands-on support to Security Analysts, working incidents and investigations directly alongside them.
• Serve as the primary escalation point for complex security incidents and high-risk situations.
• Own and drive compliance initiatives including HIPAA, SOC 2, cyber insurance requirements, and related frameworks — audits, documentation, and remediation tracking.
• Conduct security assessments and help clients identify opportunities to reduce risk and improve security posture.
• Advise clients on cybersecurity best practices, compliance requirements, and security strategy.
• Own and optimize security platforms including Microsoft Defender, Entra ID, Huntress, email security, vulnerability management, and related tools.
• Drive root cause analysis and continuous improvement following security events.
• Improve security processes, documentation standards, reporting, and operational efficiency.
• Partner with Account Managers and leadership on security improvement opportunities.
• Help evolve and expand Digacore's security services as client needs and threats change.
• Mentor and guide Security Analysts on technical growth (light day-to-day coaching, not formal people management).
