Job Description

The Network Security Compliance Lead will serve as the primary architect for translating high-level regulatory mandates into granular, technical requirements. Candidates will bridge the gap between Legal/Regulatory bodies and Platform/Network Engineering teams, ensuring that "Security by Design" is not a slogan, but a documented, auditable technical reality. As a "Technical Architect-Auditor." you will deconstruct legal mandates into engineering specs and then execute the hands-on implementation of those requirements. You are responsible for the technical enforcement of the Sovereign Data Controller concept, ensuring the client’s network can programmatically respond to regulatory demands
Core Responsibilities:
-Automated Regulatory Architecture & Engineering (30%)
• The Translator: Deconstruct complex legal mandates (e.g., NIS2 Directive Article 21, SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria) into actionable technical requirements for platform delivery and network teams.
• Compliance-as-Code: Translate NIS2 and SOC 2 requirements into automated security policies (e.g., Open Policy Agent (OPA) or AWS Config).
• Methodology Authoring: Develop and maintain the official Incident Handling Methodology and step-by-step procedures for regional compliance authorities.
• Platform Delivery Specs: Create and sign off on Security Requirement Documents (SRDs) for all new platform features, ensuring network segmentation and identity controls are baked in.
• Stakeholder Liaison: Interface directly with Legal, Regulatory CRAs, and external auditors to defend technical control logic.
-Hands-on Technical Execution (20%)
• Configuration & Implementation: Execute hands-on configuration changes and network modifications based on defined requirements (e.g., Firewall rules, VPC hardening, IAM policies).
• Sovereign Data Controller: Build and manage the Sovereign Data Controller framework; specifically, engineering the capability to programmatically turn connections on/off based on data residency or compliance triggers.
• Technical Operations: Act as the primary technical executor once requirements and processes are defined, ensuring no "gap" between policy and production.
• Network Automation: Utilize Ansible, Terraform, or Python to automate network hardening and firewall rule lifecycle management.
-Audit & Stakeholder Interface (30%)
• Legal & Regulatory Liaison: Act as the technical point of contact for the Legal department and External Auditors. Defend technical implementations and explain control logic in non-technical terms.
• CRA/Regulatory Management: Manage submissions and evidence gathering for Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) or similar regional certifications.
• Risk Reporting: Translate technical network risks into Business Impact Analyses for executive leadership and legal counsel.
• Data Portability: Develop and maintain automated download capabilities for audit evidence and regulatory logs to streamline external review.
-Network & Platform Security Governance (10%)
• Technical Oversight: Leverage deep knowledge of TCP/IP, Zero Trust Architecture, and Cloud Networking to validate that configurations (Firewalls, VPCs, IAM) actually meet the intended compliance goals.
• Gap Analysis: Lead continuous "pre-audit" assessments of the network stack to identify and remediate non-conformities before they reach an official auditor.
• Process Automation: Work with engineering to automate the collection of compliance evidence (Evidence-as-Code) to reduce manual audit toil.
-Reporting & Audit Automation (10%)
• Automated Reporting: Build and maintain regulatory reporting views and dashboards that provide real-time, "downloadable" compliance status for auditors.
• Reporting Engineering: Design and build regulatory reporting views within internal dashboards to provide real-time visibility into compliance status.
• Data Portability: Develop and maintain automated download capabilities for audit evidence and regulatory logs to streamline external review.
• Gap Remediation: Identify network vulnerabilities and manually implement the required technical fixes to maintain an "Always Audit-Ready" state.
