What the job involves
- Alma is seeking a mission-driven Senior Security Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) Analyst to join our team
- We are dedicated to building secure and compliant tools and services that help providers more easily manage and grow their practice
- Acting as a principal aide to the VP of Security and IT, this role will play a critical role in enabling a culture of security at Alma, making security a product differentiator that builds confidence and trust with our providers, and preparing Alma for annual audits and certifications (such as SOC 2 and HITRUST)
- In this role you will perform risk assessments, create and maintain our security policies, educate our staff by developing a security awareness program, respond to security assessments, and review our vendor’s security
- Perform risk assessments and reports on Alma’s risk management program
- Collaborate with stakeholders to identify and facilitate the implementation of mitigating controls
- Streamline and maintain Alma’s security policies and standards
- Prepare the organization and facilitate annual audits and certifications (SOC 2, PCI)
- Educate Alma’s staff by creating and managing an effective security awareness program
- Develop our vendor risk program, ensuring our vendors meet Alma security standards
- Develop Alma’s Trust program, preparing materials and responses to security assessments, and making security a product differentiator that builds confidence and instills trust in our providers
- Develop and measure key metrics, and coordinate activities in support of cybersecurity priorities
Our take
4 in 10 adults in the United States suffer from some form of anxiety or depression, but most go without appropriate support because of difficulties in accessing mental health care providers. Alma exists to meet a growing demand for mental health services by supporting providers in offering online care, and making it easy for people who need help to find qualified, in-network therapist who meets their needs.
There has been something of a boom in the virtual mental health space, and by encouraging online therapy Alma is competing against a plethora of well-funded apps aimed at self help and mental wellbeing offered at a far lower price than regular therapy. However, these are largely unregulated and their quality is often questionable. By prioritising vetted and professional therapists, Alma has provided a real alternative to in-person therapy and this has allowed it to grow rapidly, growing its network to over 8,000 therapists across all 50 states.
Alma's success has also attracted a large amount of funding. This is being used to further expand its network and to develop the tools offered to its providers. Having scaled rapidly through 2022 it is showing no signs of slowing down, and is well poised for future growth.
