We’re looking for an amazing ISO 27001 Expert to help support our Customer Success and Sales teams, as well as assist with product enhancements and solutioning. You’ll be working in a fun, fast-paced, highly collaborative environment with a small team of industry rockstars as a ISO 27001 and compliance resource.

At Vanta, our mission is to secure the internet and protect consumer data. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it.

  • Provide product support for current customers to help them interpret ISO 27001 standards and security/compliance-related questions for multiple frameworks
  • Assist internal Vanta team with ISO 27001 and security/compliance-related questions
  • Assist Vanta Sales and Marketing teams in creating educational and marketing content (blogs, whitepapers, webinars)
 
How to be successful in this role:
  • Strong knowledge of ISO 27001/2 and assessment and certification processes
  • Ability to properly scope ISO 27001 certification audits
  • Strong knowledge of ISO 27001 requirements and their applicability
  • Strong knowledge of cloud technologies
  • Customer-first focus
  • Can work independently and with teams to identify and resolve opportunities and issues
  • Enjoys working in a fast-paced “established startup” environment
  • Can communicate complex ISO 27001 concepts to internal teams and customers
  • Prefer security-related certifications such as CISSP, CISA, CISM, AWS Security, PCI PCIP/QSA/ISA, and ISO 27001 Lead Auditor/Implementer (or ability to obtain in 30 days)
 
What you can expect as a Vantan:
  • Industry-Competitive Salary and Equity
  • 100% covered Medical, Dental, and Vision Benefits with Dependents Coverage
  • 16 Weeks Fully Paid Parental Leave for All New Parents (Moms, Dads, Adoptive, Foster)
  • Health & Wellness Stipend
  • Remote Workspace Stipend
  • 401(k) Matching Plan
  • Flexible Work Hours and Location
  • Open & Encouraged PTO Policy

About Vanta
We started Vanta in 2016 as Equifax had lost every American's social security number, Home Depot had leaked its customers' credit card numbers to hackers, and Facebook admitted that it irresponsibly sent user data to third parties who tried to influence the US election. It was clear that security and privacy had become mainstream issues, and that we all increasingly relied on cloud services to store everything from our personal photos to our communications at work.
 
Vanta's mission is to be the layer of trust on top of these services, and to secure the internet, increase trust in software companies, and keep consumer data safe.
 
We do this by building an automated head of security for technology companies, and we use that system to both help a company secure itself and to prove their security to others.
 
If we succeed in our mission, it should feel irresponsible for users to put data into a product that isn't certified by Vanta, and irresponsible for companies to collect data without using Vanta to secure and monitor themselves.
