Associate Security Officer information

What is an associate security officer?

Associate Security Officers are entry-level professionals responsible for maintaining the safety and security of people, property, and information within an organization. They typically monitor surveillance equipment, control access to facilities, conduct security checks, and respond to incidents or emergencies. Working under the supervision of senior security staff, they help enforce security policies and procedures to prevent theft, vandalism, and other threats. This role often serves as a stepping stone to more advanced positions in security management.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an associate security officer?

To thrive as an Associate Security Officer, you need a foundational understanding of security protocols, emergency response procedures, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with security surveillance systems, access control tools, and sometimes certifications like CPR or basic security training are typically required. Strong observational skills, integrity, and effective communication set outstanding security officers apart. These skills ensure the safety of people and property while enabling quick, appropriate responses to incidents.

What are some common challenges faced by associate security officers in their daily work?

Associate Security Officers often encounter challenges such as adapting to rapidly changing security protocols, managing access control for large or diverse facilities, and effectively responding to incidents while maintaining composure. They must balance customer service with enforcement, ensuring a welcoming but secure environment. Additionally, working various shifts and collaborating with law enforcement or emergency personnel requires strong communication skills and adaptability.

Job description

Description
About MEDvidi
MEDvidi is a multi-state telehealth practice delivering behavioral health and psychiatric services through a licensed Professional Corporation structure. As our organization and provider workforce continue to grow, protecting highly sensitive behavioral-health information and maintaining a strong, operational HIPAA security program are critical to our continued success.
We are seeking an experienced Information Security Officer (ISO) to own and operate MEDvidi's HIPAA Security Program.
About the Role
The Information Security Officer will have end-to-end ownership of MEDvidi's information security program, with particular responsibility for safeguarding electronic protected health information (ePHI).
You will inherit a completed Security Risk Analysis and be responsible for turning identified risks and recommendations into a sustainable operating program. This includes remediation execution, ongoing risk management, technical and administrative safeguards, vendor security, incident response, security policies, and security compliance.
This is a hands-on ownership role for someone comfortable independently running a security program in a lean, fast-moving healthcare environment.
Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
  • Serve as MEDvidi's designated HIPAA Security Official under 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(2).
  • Own the organization's security risk analysis and ongoing risk-management cycle, including maintaining the risk register and driving remediation items to closure.
  • Develop, operate, document, and maintain HIPAA administrative safeguards, including workforce security, access authorization, security awareness and training, incident procedures, and contingency planning.
  • Partner with IT to implement and maintain technical safeguards involving access controls, authentication, audit controls, data integrity, logging, and encryption of ePHI in transit and at rest.
  • Maintain security policies for MEDvidi's distributed workforce, including workstation security, device and media controls, and remote-work ePHI handling.
  • Own the security incident response process, including detection, containment, forensics coordination, documentation, and annual tabletop exercises.
  • Partner with the Privacy Officer on breach investigations and other areas where privacy and security requirements overlap.
  • Lead vendor and Business Associate security diligence, including security questionnaires, SOC 2/HITRUST reviews, subcontractor risk, and remediation of security findings.
  • Support security architecture and tooling decisions involving telehealth platforms, EHR access, endpoint management, logging, and SIEM coverage.
  • Review the security implications of AI tools and AI-assisted security and compliance processes used within the organization.
  • Manage and operate MEDvidi's GRC platform in partnership with Compliance leadership.
  • Monitor changes to the HIPAA Security Rule and help MEDvidi assess and implement new requirements as they become applicable.

Requirements
Required Qualifications
  • 6+ years of information security experience.
  • 2+ years of experience in healthcare or another regulated ePHI/PII environment.
  • Demonstrated hands-on ownership of a HIPAA security program or equivalent regulated security program; advisory-only experience is not sufficient.
  • Strong working knowledge of the HIPAA Security Rule.
  • Working knowledge of at least one relevant security/control framework, such as:
  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0
  • NIST SP 800-66r2
  • HITRUST
  • Demonstrated ability to independently run a security program in a lean environment.
  • Strong risk-based prioritization, practical control implementation, and security documentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications
  • CISSP, HCISPP, CISM, or equivalent certification.
  • Experience securing telehealth platforms or other healthcare technology environments.
  • Cloud security experience with AWS, Azure, and/or GCP.
  • Experience leading security incident response.
  • Experience working with fractional or external security resources, penetration testers, and independent security advisors.
  • Familiarity with evolving HIPAA Security Rule requirements.

What Success Looks Like
During your first year, you will be expected to establish a mature, well-documented, and operational security program. Key outcomes include:
  • Closing Security Risk Analysis remediation items or placing them on documented, formally accepted remediation schedules.
  • Maintaining a security policy suite mapped to applicable HIPAA safeguards, with clear owners, review cadences, and evidence.
  • Testing the incident response plan through a tabletop exercise.
  • Maintaining workforce security training completion of at least 95%.
  • Completing security reviews for critical vendors handling ePHI.
  • Coordinating an annual penetration test and ensuring findings are incorporated into the remediation program.

Why Join MEDvidi?
This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of information security within a growing multi-state behavioral healthcare organization. Rather than serving solely as an advisor, you will have the mandate to build, operate, improve, and demonstrate the effectiveness of the security program while working closely with Compliance, Privacy, IT, and organizational leadership.
If you are an experienced healthcare security professional who enjoys translating regulatory requirements and risk assessments into practical, sustainable security operations, we would like to hear from you.
Apply today to join MEDvidi as our Information Security Officer.
