As Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), you will take full ownership of Caregenix's security operations. You will lead the shift away from manual, resource-heavy monitoring toward automated defense — deploying AI-driven platforms, establishing a formal on-call escalation model, and ensuring rigorous GRC compliance across all operations. You will have executive sponsorship and the budget to build something that lasts.

Strategic Leadership

Define and track department KPIs, actionable metrics, and formal executive reporting.

Translate highly technical threat data into clear, objective business reports for senior management.

Build a security culture focused on measurable outcomes, not activity theatre.

AI & Automation Integration

Lead deployment and management of AI-driven security platforms (e.g., Cortex XSIAM).

Automate detection, response, and escalation workflows by severity — reducing manual intervention loops.

Operational Efficiency

Design and manage an On-Call Security Officer rotation model for critical alert escalation.

Eliminate the need for an inefficient, manually staffed 24/7 SOC by replacing it with structured triage automation.

GRC & Compliance

Ensure all security operations align with corporate Workforce policies and GRC guidelines.

Own ISO 27001 compliance maintenance and audit readiness end-to-end.

Network Defense Management

Oversee firewall configurations and enforce strict network isolation protocols.

Ensure no unauthorized public traffic or IP whitelisting occurs outside formal approval channels.

Team Leadership & Accountability

Manage, mentor, and build accountability within the security team.

Ensure every team task maps directly to a measurable security improvement.

• Required 12 plus years in Cybersecurity and 3 plus years in Senior Leadership Role.

Hands‑on experience deploying and managing SIEM/SOAR platforms, XDR, and AI‑driven security solutions.

Strong understanding of firewall management, network segmentation, and incident response workflows.

Deep GRC expertise with practical ISO 27001 audit and maintenance experience.

Strict respect for corporate governance, physical infrastructure, and on‑site network boundary policies.
