Information Security Auditor

Job Description

Employment Opportunity with KirkpatrickPrice

Do you get frustrated helping clients who don't know the difference between Layer 2 and a 7-layer dip? Are you tired of explaining that the Internet is just a series of tubes tangled up with enormous amounts of data? If so, then DO NOT...apply for this job! KirkpatrickPrice helps clients through their first security audit and inspires them toward greater levels of information security.

KirkpatrickPrice is seeking IT and security-savvy auditors who are ready to join a rapidly growing and changing compliance industry. We want people on our team who are excited about educating and empowering small and medium service providers to implement effective controls to protect their assets.

Desired Applicant Characteristics

Character

• Possess an extreme level of integrity. The top 1% of wealth holders in America rate integrity as the #1 factor that explains economic success.
• Passionate for teaching clients about applicable compliance standards, such as SOC1, SOC2, PCI, HIPAA, FISMA, GLBA, HITRUST, GDPR, and ISO. We love this alphabet.
• Always display unparalleled professionalism, in conduct and appearance. Iron your shirt!

Quality

• Skillful in designing effective tests of controls.
• Must understand and interpret how risk affects a wide range of business environments. Gap analysis, anyone??
• Combine remediation guidance with interpersonal skill and an understanding of why clients must make necessary changes. Nobody likes a pushy auditor.
• Hold at least one certification such as CISSP, CISA, QSA, GIAC, etc. We love this alphabet even more!

Productivity

• Energetic about coordinating simultaneous projects at differing stages. Cat herding experience preferred, but not required.
• Efficient with technology. No technosaurs.
• Willing to travel nationwide. “I’ve just GOT to get out of this house!” (30%-40% travel)
• Must detest a daily commute to an office. Virtual office experience is a must. Some days, it’s fun to just stay in those superhero pajamas.

Competitive candidates will possess a current CISSP certification at a minimum, and a decade or more of technologist experience. They will have exposure to the auditing function of information security, if not directly as an auditor, then as a beneficiary of audits. They will possess both strong technical skill and interpersonal skill, to effectively evaluate client information security practices, understand the perspective of the client, and communicate clearly and openly with the client and their colleagues. They will also enjoy working with a great group of people who love what they do.
