  • Knowledge of regulatory and security frameworks (FOIPPA, PCI‑DSS, ISO 27001, NIST)
  • Scripting / programming experience (Python, PowerShell, Bash)
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical risk into business‑friendly language
  • Excellent time management and ability to prioritize in fast‑moving environments
  • What to Expect
