They assess potential risks, review policies and procedures, and conduct audits or tests to verify the effectiveness of security controls. Their work helps protect sensitive data and maintain the overall security posture of the organization. Security Assurance Analysts often collaborate with IT, compliance, and risk management teams to identify vulnerabilities and recommend improvements.

What are typical challenges security assurance analysts face when working with cross-functional teams?

Security Assurance Analysts often work closely with IT, development, and business teams to ensure security standards are met. A common challenge is translating complex security requirements into actionable steps for colleagues who may have varying levels of security knowledge. Balancing compliance needs with project deadlines can also create tension, requiring strong communication and negotiation skills. Building effective partnerships and fostering a culture of security awareness are key to overcoming these challenges and achieving successful outcomes.

Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills set top performers apart in this role. These competencies ensure that organizations can proactively identify, assess, and mitigate security risks to protect sensitive data and maintain regulatory compliance.

It brings together all of the workforce systems that are normally scattered across a company, like payroll, expenses, benefits, and computers. For the first time ever, you can manage and automate every part of the employee lifecycle in a single system.
Take onboarding, for example. With Rippling, you can hire a new employee anywhere in the world and set up their payroll, corporate card, computer, benefits, and even third-party apps like Slack and Microsoft 365-all within 90 seconds.
Based in San Francisco, CA, Rippling has raised $1.4B+ from the world's top investors-including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, Sequoia, Greenoaks, and Bedrock-and was named one of America's best startup employers by Forbes.
We prioritize candidate safety. Please be aware that all official communication will only be sent from @Rippling.com addresses.
About the Role
Join Rippling's Security Assurance team and help demonstrate the trust our customers place in us every day. You'll play a key role in delivering internationally recognized security certifications and attestations, supporting regulatory obligations, and partnering across the business to strengthen our security assurance program.
At Ripping, we are on an exciting growth journey, and our Security team is at the forefront of this transformation. We are committed to our mission of protecting our company's assets and data, and we need individuals who share this passion.
About the Team
The Security Assurance team is responsible for delivering Rippling's security assurance programmes and supporting compliance with technology and security regulatory requirements.

The successful candidate will have experience supporting these certifications and attestation, coordinating evidence collection across the business, liaising with internal stakeholders and auditors, and helping ensure all annual certification and attestation activities are completed efficiently and on schedule.
  • Vendor Management (Security Assurance): Perform security due diligence on new and existing vendors, evaluating the data they process, where it is stored, how it is used, their security and privacy controls, independent certifications (e.g. SOC and ISO), and external security ratings (BitSight) to support informed third-party risk and onboarding decisions.
  • Support the evolution of the ISMS by enhancing security policies and standards, maturing the policy lifecycle, and improving governance and review processes across the organization.
  • Support internal teams and external stakeholders with ad hoc security assurance requests, including audit evidence, customer due diligence, policy guidance, and broader security governance activities.

What You Bring:
  • 5+ years of experience in security compliance roles, with exceptional communication skills, enabling you to effectively engage with internal teams (e.g., engineering, privacy/legal, and product, etc.) and external stakeholders.
  • In-depth familiarity with information security standards such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
  • Proficiency in cloud security best practices, ensuring our cloud infrastructure remains secure and compliant.
  • Experience developing, reviewing, and maintaining information security policies
  • Good understanding of privacy regulations and data handling obligations, with the ability to work effectively alongside legal and privacy teams.

Nice to have:
  • Information security awareness training materials
  • Experience creating meaningful Security Metrics
  • Working knowledge or experience of User access management
  • Experience automating security controls
