Job Description

At One Compliant, we don’t just defend systems—we out think threats. As a emerging company in cybersecurity we empower organizations to navigate evolving risks with precision and resilience. Our team combines cutting-edge technology with tactical expertise to turn vulnerabilities into strengths and breaches into lessons.

We’re seeking a Director of Security to spearhead our mission to protect, investigate, and fortify. You’ll lead a multidisciplinary team of analysts, engineers, and forensic experts to design un-breachable ecosystems, decode cyberattacks, and build adaptive defense strategies. If you’re driven by the relentless pursuit of security excellence and thrive in high-stakes environments, this role is your command center.

• Architect and execute the company’s cybersecurity strategy, ensuring alignment with global compliance standards (NIST, ISO 27001, GDPR) and business objectives.
• Lead risk assessment initiatives, prioritizing threats to critical assets and deploying mitigations that balance agility with ironclad security.
• Oversee incident response protocols, ensuring rapid containment, forensic analysis, and post-breach recovery.

• Direct the Security Operations Center (SOC), optimizing threat detection, vulnerability management, and real-time response.
• Evaluate emerging technologies (AI-driven SIEM, EDR, zero-trust frameworks) to future-proof defenses.

• Oversee complex forensic investigations, decoding attack vectors, preserving evidence, and delivering actionable insights for legal or regulatory proceedings.
• Develop protocols for data recovery, malware reverse-engineering, and threat actor attribution.

• Design and implement threat-hunting programs to identify and neutralize risks before exploitation.
• Partner with engineering teams to embed security into infrastructure, applications, and cloud environments (AWS, Azure).

• Ensure adherence to industry regulations and frameworks, serving as the executive liaison during audits or client security reviews.

• Mentor and grow a high-performing team of security professionals, fostering a culture of innovation and vigilance.
• Translate technical risks into business terms for C-suite stakeholders, clients, and board members.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or related field (Master’s preferred).
• Certifications: CISSP, CISM, GIAC (GCFA, GNFA), or equivalent.
• Experience: 10+ years in cybersecurity, with 5+ years in leadership roles overseeing SOC, forensics, or defense operations.
• Technical Mastery: Expertise in SIEM tools, digital forensics, and adversarial tactics.
• Leadership: Proven ability to inspire teams, manage cross-functional projects, and drive security governance.
