## About the role

For four years, Footprint's security and compliance work has been the CTO's responsibility. SOC 2 Type 2, PCI DSS Level 1, GDPR, and ISO 27001 all got stood up and kept live. The internal systems underneath them got built the same way: SSO, device management, access control, and dozens of vendor relationships.

## What they're looking for

- You've owned at least one compliance program end to end: scoped it, ran the audit with the auditor, and closed the findings yourself
- You've been the person accountable for control state in Vanta, Drata, or an equivalent platform
- You've run a workforce device fleet on a modern MDM and endpoint security stack
- You've owned SSO and directory management, including the offboarding path
- You've been the entire IT and compliance function at a company, with no specialist team behind you
- You've made a documented risk-acceptance call under real resource constraints and can walk through the reasoning
