Needs

SOC 2 / ISO 27001 automation. Our attestation program is kept alive with part-time help, and we want it to run without heroic effort before each audit window.

Today: a part-time contractor maintaining the attestation program alongside the legal team · Urgency: this year

Identity & access management. Access reviews and joiner-mover-leaver changes span many internal systems, and we need cleaner, provable least-privilege controls.

Today: a security program manager coordinating access and vulnerability work across engineering and legal · Urgency: now

Privacy & data protection (GDPR/HIPAA). Privacy requests and data-protection questionnaires land on a small legal team that tracks obligations manually.

Today: a governance analyst handling privacy inquiries through a mostly manual intake process · Urgency: later
