Cye is seeking a Cybersecurity Architect (GRC & Risk) to join our cybersecurity architecture team. In this role, you will lead security governance, risk, and control assessments, conduct third-party due diligence, support maturity assessments, and drive mitigation and architectural review processes. You’ll work closely with CISOs, security leaders, engineering teams, and customers to develop risk-focused methodologies and improve security frameworks. This position is best suited for candidates with a technical GRC, risk, or security assessment background who excel in analysis, interpretation, and structuring of security information. Responsibilities • Lead customer third‑party security due diligence assessments. • Lead mitigation workshops to translate penetration test and assessment findings into prioritized remediation workplans. • Perform security maturity assessments, including reviews of organizational policies, standards, procedures, and governance practices, aligned with the NIST CSF 2.0 cybersecurity framework. • Develop and refine security methodologies, processes, and architectural guidance. • Maintain internal documentation and ensure alignment between frameworks, processes, and practical implementation. • Analyze technical findings and map them to governance, risk, and control gaps. • Produce clear, structured reports and executive‑ready summaries for technical and non‑technical audiences. Qualifications • 3-4 years in cybersecurity GRC, IT risk, compliance, audit/assurance, or related process‑oriented security roles. • Strong understanding of governance, risk management, and operational processes. • Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks (NIST CSF, ISO 27001 concepts), risk assessment, mitigation planning, and third‑party risk management. • Basic conceptual understanding of cloud/SaaS shared responsibility models. • Ability to communicate technical issues in business‑aligned language. • Hands-on experience with security controls – an advantage. • Strong writing, communication, and facilitation skills. • Comfortable collaborating with internal stakeholders and external customers. Cye helps security and risk leaders gain a clear, defensible view of their cyber exposure, grounded in financial impact and real-world attack paths. By continuously quantifying exposure and validating it in context, organizations can establish a strong baseline, prioritize decisions with confidence, and track measurable reduction over time.
