Job description

Regulations like GDPR and HIPAA don't enforce themselves. Someone has to actually check whether systems are following the rules, catch the gaps before an auditor does, and push for fixes before a small oversight turns into a real problem.

As a Remote IT Compliance Analyst, that someone is you — working across IT systems to keep everything aligned with the standards that actually matter.

What This Role Covers

You'll monitor IT systems for regulatory compliance, assess existing security protocols, and recommend improvements where gaps are found. This isn't a once-a-year checkbox exercise — compliance requirements shift, and part of the job is staying ahead of those changes rather than scrambling to catch up. If you've been looking into IT compliance analyst jobs that involve genuine analysis rather than just filling out forms, this role leans into the assessment and risk side of the work.

What You'll Be Doing

• Monitoring IT systems and processes for compliance with frameworks like GDPR and HIPAA
• Conducting risk assessments and identifying where current practices fall short
• Recommending corrective actions and following through to confirm they're implemented properly
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to align compliance work with day-to-day operations
• Documenting findings clearly enough that they hold up under an external audit
• Keeping current on evolving regulatory requirements relevant to the organization

What You'll Need

• Solid understanding of IT compliance frameworks, particularly GDPR and HIPAA
• Experience conducting audits or risk assessments in an IT environment
• Strong analytical skills for spotting gaps between policy and actual practice
• Clear written communication for documenting findings and recommendations
• Comfortable collaborating remotely across departments and time zones

Nice-to-Haves

• Certifications in compliance or information security, such as CISA or CRISC
• Prior experience in a regulated industry — healthcare, finance, or similar
• Familiarity with compliance management software and audit tracking tools
• Background supporting regulatory compliance initiatives across multiple business units

Why This Role Holds Up Long-Term

At Naukri Mitra, we focus on connecting the right talent with the right opportunity, and this compliance role gives you real influence over how the organization handles regulatory risk — not just a checklist to complete. Your assessments actually shape what gets prioritized. Analysts who build a strong track record here often move into senior compliance or risk management roles over time.

Pay and Schedule

This position pays $26,000 annually and is a remote role,with room to organize your schedule around audit cycles and team check-ins.
