About the Role
The IT Auditor is responsible for maintaining and advancing Brandt's information security compliance posture across PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type 2, and GovRAMP, ensuring the company's internal controls, policies, and procedures satisfy regulatory and contractual requirements. This role reviews and assesses the adequacy of Brandt's IT controls, produces findings and remediation recommendations, and provides guidance for client contract governance related to security and compliance obligations. The Auditor works across every department to educate stakeholders, answer compliance questions, deliver training, and hold departments accountable to their compliance standards, while managing external relationships with assessors, pen testers, auditors, and compliance vendors. Success in this role requires being a stickler for standards without becoming a blocker: someone comfortable saying no, but who collaborates with stakeholders to find workable paths to compliance.
Expectations
- Own day-to-day compliance execution for PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type 2, and GovRAMP, including audit prep, evidence collection, and remediation tracking
- Conduct internal audits and control assessments; produce formal reports with findings and prioritized recommendations for improvement
- Conduct periodic gap analyses and readiness assessments ahead of formal audits or certification milestones
- Assess and maintain controls against the NIST 800-53 control framework as it applies to GovRAMP/FedRAMP authorization
- Maintain and administer Brandt's GRC tool as the system of record for controls, policies, and evidence
- Provide guidance on client contract governance, ensuring security/compliance terms are understood and achievable before commitments are made
- Partner with all departments (not limited to IT and Security) to educate staff on compliance requirements, answer questions, and deliver training
- Hold department heads accountable to their compliance obligations; escalate persistent gaps to the CIO
- Draft, maintain, and enforce company security policies, ensuring adherence within Security, IT, and beyond
- Manage relationships with external compliance organizations, third-party assessors, penetration testers, and compliance-related vendors
- Monitor changes in regulatory and framework requirements (PCI, SOC 2, GovRAMP/FedRAMP, NIST 800-53) and update Brandt's compliance program accordingly
- Collaborate with Security Engineers and IT/Hosting teams to translate audit findings into practical, implementable controls
- Balance rigor with pragmatism: apply consistent standards while working with stakeholders to find compliant solutions rather than simply issuing denials
Qualifications
- 4–6 years of experience in IT audit, information security compliance, or GRC, ideally spanning multiple frameworks (PCI DSS, SOC 2, GovRAMP/FedRAMP, or similar)
- GovRAMP or FedRAMP experience strongly preferred
- Familiarity with NIST 800-53 controls and their application to GovRAMP/FedRAMP authorization
- Security certification such as CISA, CISSP, or CISM (CISA preferred)
- Hands-on experience with a GRC platform (e.g., Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, OneTrust, or equivalent)
- Working knowledge of IT general controls (ITGCs), risk assessment methodology, and control testing
- Demonstrated experience working collaboratively and cross-functionally, with a positive, solutions-oriented attitude
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical findings for non-technical audiences
- Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Business, or related field, or equivalent experience
