    Experience supporting audits or compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, NIST, CIS, or ISO

    Proven ability to create and maintain clear, organized, audit-ready documentation

    Experience implementing RBAC and least-privilege access models

    Comfortable working across multiple environments with varying levels of security maturity

    Strong written and verbal communication skills

    Preferred (Not Required)
