  • Practical knowledge of HIPAA/HITECH and healthcare security and compliance requirements, ideally within a covered entity or business associate environment.
  • Working knowledge of cloud security, application security, identity and access management, vulnerability management, endpoint security, secure software development lifecycle practices, and modern software-as-a-service architecture.
  • Experience leading SOC 2 Type II or comparable certification and assurance programs.

  • Ability to work effectively across Legal, Engineering, Product, IT, AI, People, Finance, auditors, customers, and executive leadership.
  • Ability to drive accountability across functions without relying solely on direct reporting relationships.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the company’s designated HIPAA Security Officer, lead the information security program, and partner with Legal, Privacy, Compliance, Engineering, IT, and other stakeholders on related requirements.
  • Maintain sufficient technical depth to independently assess cloud architectures, application architectures, continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines, infrastructure as code, identity and access models, software supply-chain controls, and security monitoring approaches, while technical teams retain responsibility for detailed implementation and operations.
  • Own HIPAA Security Rule compliance, including the Security Risk Analysis, security risk-management plan, and ongoing oversight of required safeguards.
  • Own the SOC 2 Type II program and other security certifications, attestations, and assurance programs, including control governance, audit readiness, evidence sufficiency, auditor relationships, identified deficiencies, remediation, and successful completion of audits and assessments.
  • Own the information-security policy and control framework, including policy development, review, exceptions, ongoing governance, and alignment with applicable regulatory, contractual, and business requirements.
  • Establish clear ownership for security controls across the organization and ensure deficiencies, vulnerabilities, risks, and remediation plans are identified, prioritized, tracked, validated, and appropriately escalated.
  • Partner with Engineering, DevOps, architecture, and IT leaders to evaluate security approaches and ensure technical controls appropriately address identified requirements, while technical teams retain responsibility for detailed design and implementation.
  • Establish and oversee vulnerability-management and application-security programs, including expectations for vulnerability identification, penetration testing, secure software development practices, security testing, remediation, exceptions, and escalation.
  • Own the security incident-response framework and coordinate the company’s response to security incidents, partnering with technical teams on investigation and remediation and with Legal, Privacy, Compliance, and executive leadership on broader incident assessment and response.
  • Lead the security aspects of third-party risk management, enterprise customer diligence, audits, requests for proposals and requests for information, and security escalations.
  • Partner with Product, AI, Engineering, Legal, and other stakeholders to establish appropriate governance for emerging technologies and the use of sensitive data.
  • Establish and oversee secure software development lifecycle and software supply-chain requirements, including source-control protections, continuous integration and continuous delivery security, dependency and container security, infrastructure-as-code security, secrets management, security testing, artifact integrity, release controls, vulnerability remediation, and risk-based security gates.
  • Maintain appropriate visibility into the effectiveness of security controls and partner with responsible technical owners to evaluate access controls, data protection, cloud and application security, logging, monitoring, and business continuity.
  • Oversee the effectiveness of security controls and provide executive leadership with appropriate visibility into significant risks, remediation progress, and emerging security concerns.
  • Continuously improve the information-security operating model so that requirements are clear, ownership is durable, and controls operate effectively in practice.
