Our SaaS products run on Microsoft Azure and related cloud services, delivering high-trust, secure data protection to customers across regulated and enterprise environments.

In this role, you will be responsible for turning raw security findings into a clear, prioritized, and business-relevant risk story.

• Hands-on experience building or operating risk registers and assessment processes (including scoring, prioritization, and risk treatment tracking), and working with security findings from tools such as vulnerability scanners, cloud security posture tools, and penetration tests.
• Strong understanding of cloud security concepts and risks, ideally including Microsoft Azure and modern…
