Are you ready to shape the future of authentication? Join **1Kosmos** and help lead the next wave in identity assurance and passwordless innovation.

**1Kosmos** is driving the future of identity security, empowering organizations to eliminate passwords and establish trust at every step of the identity lifecycle. As a vibrant team of innovators, we develop advanced authentication solutions trusted by some of the world’s leading brands. Join us as we create a passwordless world and set new standards for digital identity assurance.

We are seeking an IT & Information Security Compliance Manager to own and strengthen our company’s security and compliance posture across frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP High, and NIST. 

This is a hands-on operational leadership role (not a CISO), focused on ensuring audit readiness, control implementation, IT governance, and continuous improvement of our security programs. The ideal candidate will combine a strong understanding of infrastructure and security controls with experience automating compliance workflows using tools like Drata or Vanta.

## Requirements

**Key Responsibilities** 

-   Lead and maintain enterprise security and compliance programs aligned with SOC 2, ISO 27001/27002, FedRAMP High, and NIST 800-53/171 frameworks. 

-   Build and manage automated compliance monitoring and evidence collection through Drata, Vanta, or equivalent platforms; integrate these with internal systems (ticketing, HRIS, cloud providers, etc.). 

-   Prepare for and manage SOC 2 Type I/II, ISO audits, and FedRAMP readiness assessments: gap analysis, documentation, remediation, and control testing. 

-   Partner with IT Operations and Engineering to ensure security controls are embedded in infrastructure, cloud, network, and identity systems. 

-   Maintain and update security policies, SSPs, POA&Ms, and other audit documentation. 

-   Oversee incident response, change management, and vendor risk programs to ensure consistent compliance coverage. 

-   Manage relationships with external auditors and compliance assessors. 

-   Define and track metrics for audit readiness, risk posture, and compliance automation efficiency. 

-   Stay current with evolving compliance frameworks and technologies that can improve assurance automation. 

-   Champion security awareness, training, and continuous improvement across the organization. 

**Qualifications** 

**Must-Have** 

-   6 + years of experience in IT security, compliance, or risk management within a SaaS or regulated technology environment. 

-   Proven experience managing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programs end-to-end; exposure to FedRAMP High or NIST 800-53 is a plus. 

-   Hands-on use and administration of Drata, Vanta, Tugboat Logic, or equivalent compliance automation platforms. 

-   Familiarity with AWS/Azure/GCP cloud environments, identity & access management, and IT operations. 

-   Strong technical understanding of security controls: network, endpoint, access, configuration management, logging/monitoring, vulnerability management. 

-   Excellent documentation and communication skills — able to translate control requirements into clear operational actions. 

-   Experience leading internal or external audits and managing evidence collection efficiently. 

-   Based in (or willing to relocate to) Edison, NJ and work on-site with our leadership and operations teams. 

**Preferred** 

-   Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CISA, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor, or FedRAMP Practitioner. 

-   Experience managing or improving IT operations processes with a compliance lens.
