Senior GRC Consultant – Federal, Complex Frameworks
SprintoSprinto helps SaaS companies become info-sec compliant, unblock sales deals, and pass security reviews easily
• Lead delivery of FedRAMP readiness/authorization support, CMMC Level 1–3 assessments and gap remediation, HITRUST r2 validated assessment preparation, NIST 800-53/800-171 control implementation and SSP development, and NIST CSF maturity assessments. • Provide pre-sales technical validation on federal/complex opportunities — these deals typically need scoping rigor before contract that standard-framework deals don't. • Build and maintain control-mapping libraries, SSP templates, POA&M templates, and evidence-collection playbooks calibrated to the depth federal frameworks require. • Track framework revisions (NIST 800-53 Rev 6, CMMC rule finalization, FedRAMP 20x, etc.) and translate changes into playbook updates promptly — these frameworks move on regulatory timelines, not product timelines. • Define pricing for federal/complex engagements, reflecting higher complexity and duration than standard-framework work. • Own margin and utilization on your engagement book; forecast capacity against a specialized, harder-to-backfill skillset. • Build AI-assisted control-mapping and evidence-review playbooks, with heavier human-review gates than standard frameworks warrant given ATO/certification consequences. • Define QA guardrails specific to federal work: accuracy is non-negotiable given the downstream consequence (loss of certification/authorization eligibility). • Set clear boundaries/disclaimers on what Sprinto's assessment does and doesn't guarantee toward formal certification/authorization outcomes.
Senior GRC Consultant – Standard Frameworks
SprintoSprinto helps SaaS companies become info-sec compliant, unblock sales deals, and pass security reviews easily
• Own delivery for standard-framework engagements: ISO 27001 (implementation & surveillance), SOC 2 Type I/II readiness, GDPR, PCI DSS compliance programs, gap assessments, control/check mapping, internal audits, policy reviews, audit readiness support. • Run multiple concurrent client engagements to a consistent quality bar without close supervision. • Maintain and evolve templates, control-mapping libraries, workshop agendas, and QA rubrics for standard frameworks; keep them current as frameworks revise (ISO 27001:2022 transition-type updates, SOC 2 trust criteria changes, GDPR enforcement guidance). • Extend the library opportunistically to adjacent frameworks (HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 42001) as demand grows. • Define pricing/packaging for standard-framework engagements (fixed-fee tiers, retainer options). • Own utilization, margin, and delivery forecasting for your own engagement book. • Partner with Sales/SE/CS to attach and renew standard-framework services; support deal conversion where technical validation is needed. • Build and maintain AI-assisted playbooks for standard frameworks (gap assessment, control mapping, internal audit checklists). • Define structured input forms/checklists so juniors or AI-assisted workflows produce consistent first-draft output. • Set QA guardrails: mandatory source inputs, validation steps, human approval gates. • Establish acceptance criteria and review checkpoints for deliverables. • Flag scope creep early; escalate ambiguous liability questions rather than absorbing them silently.
• Support the Senior Compliance Director to develop, administer and monitor the implementation of a CMS that ensures the Bank’s compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to its operations and product offerings. • Responsible for developing, implementing, and reporting on the monitoring and testing compliance program across the Core Bank and Fintech Partners, to provide oversight of compliance with federal, state, agency, and regulatory requirements. • Assists in developing and maintaining a comprehensive assessment of compliance risks throughout the Bank’s operations. • Develop and maintaining annual calendar of scheduled compliance testing and monitoring activities, informed by appropriate risk assessments. • Evaluate identified issues, including conducting a root cause analysis, and recommendations to improve policies, procedures, potential efficiencies, and controls. Complete validation for completed issues. • Develop clear and concise reporting of the results of compliance programs and communicate to Board, Management, Business Units and Partners. • Manage a team of Compliance professionals. Responsible for hiring, coaching and development. • Research, analyze, draw conclusions related to all federal and state rules and regulations and their applicability to Core Bank and Fintech Partners products, services, and systems. • Serve as an in-house subject matter expert to provide compliance advice and guidance to relevant Core bank staff and Fintech Partners, while addressing any compliance questions. • Assist with internal/external audit, and regulatory examinations requests. • Follow and comply with all regulatory and compliance regulations. • Provide internal service in accordance with Coastal Core Values. • Because we are a rapidly changing organization, there will be other duties as assigned.
