You'll conduct information security assessments for smaller credit unions, covering information security, privacy, business continuity, identity management, user access, data integrity, and related controls. Most of your work will be remote, including evidence review, analysis, client meetings, and report writing. You'll also travel to client locations for onsite assessment activities, including limited physical security testing and social engineering. We don't expect you to know everything on day one. We do expect you to be ready to learn and apply what you learn. You'll start by shadowing experienced assessors on several engagements. Next, you'll take the lead while a senior analyst provides oversight. As your capabilities develop, you'll begin managing engagements independently. We have a defined progression from Junior Analyst to Analyst to Senior Analyst, with established competencies and compensation bands at each level. What You'll Do * Conduct information security assessments for smaller credit unions, primarily aligned with NCUA guidance. * Manage assigned assessments from kickoff through final reporting as your experience develops. * Review evidence, evaluate security practices, conduct client interviews, and document findings. * Assess technical, administrative, and physical security controls. * Perform limited onsite social engineering and physical security testing. * Identify security risks, control gaps, and opportunities for improvement. * Prepare clear, accurate, actionable assessment reports following internal standards. * Manage engagement timelines, deliverables, and client communications. * Develop proficiency with NIST CSF, CIS Controls v8, NCUA ISE, and other applicable assessment frameworks. * Expand into additional technical assessments, including firewall, VPN, and virtual environment reviews. * Continue developing your knowledge through research, training, and professional certifications.
