What the job involves
- We're looking for a Director of GRC and Security, to lead Panther's security and compliance initiatives. In this role, you’ll be responsible for driving our security strategy, ensuring the safety of our environment, and managing key certifications such as SOC2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS. You’ll collaborate with teams across the organization, including Engineering, IT, and Sales, as well as external stakeholders and auditors, to ensure our security and compliance efforts align with business objectives.
- Additionally, you’ll lead initiatives to implement new compliance programs like FedRAMP, all while maintaining operational efficiency and fostering a culture of security throughout Panther. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and have a passion for balancing security with compliance, we’d love to hear from you!
- Leading and building Panther’s Security and Compliance organization, and participating in the build out of Panther’s IT organization
- Partnering closely with internal teams such as IT, Sales, and Engineering to improve operational efficiency and achieve business outcomes beyond strictly compliance
- Acting as the primary conduit for communication between Panther’s engineering organization and external security and compliance partners (including auditors, ongoing security advisors, pentesters, and short-term contractors)
- Collaborating with other leaders across the company to develop an ongoing compliance strategy that drives quality and unlocks sales
- Owning Panther's existing compliance programs (SOC2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS), ensuring continuity for Panther's certifications
- Leading Panther’s audit processes end to end, including directly interacting with auditors during assessments
- Identifying and implementing improvements to Panther’s compliance programs to reduce operational burden and complexity (e.g. introducing better automation or processes for evidence gathering, thoughtful alignment of audit calendars, streamlining responses to security and compliance questionnaires, etc)
- Implementing new compliance programs at Panther, such as FedRAMP, HIPAA, and others, partnering with external subject matter experts when appropriate
- Defining, executing, measuring, monitoring and reporting on compliance controls and initiatives, and maintaining all related documentation in Drata
Our take
The increasing adoption of cloud platforms has made it more and more difficult for security teams to monitor all aspects of their business. Panther Labs solves this problem with its scalable solution specifically tailored for cloud-first companies.
Panther Labs' platform acts as an alternative to traditional SIEMs, which have failed to keep up with the shift towards cloud services. Panther was founded by security engineering experts from companies such as Airbnb and AWS. This has enabled the company to keep developers' and security teams' needs and challenges in mind. In 2021, the company raised an impressive $120 million in funding, making it a unicorn. This is a testament to Panther's growing impact in the cloud security sector.
Panther Labs' main challenge will be competing with rival cloud security SIEMs like LogRhythm and QRadar. However, Panther's ongoing funding success, strategic partnerships and growing roster of enterprise clients (which now includes AWS and Dropbox) indicate that the company is gathering further momentum.
