About the Role
The Company is seeking a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to lead the development, implementation, and maintenance of a comprehensive cybersecurity, application security, and risk management strategy. The CISO will be responsible for all aspects of information security, including compliance efforts, and must ensure that the security and privacy needs of customers are met or exceeded. This VP-level role requires a candidate with a strong background in building and scaling information security, risk management, and compliance programs, preferably within a SaaS company or healthcare provider. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in security, privacy, and IT audit frameworks, as well as extensive experience in technical security areas and secure coding practices. Key responsibilities for the CISO include creating and executing a long-term security vision, protecting client data, establishing proactive security measures, and fostering a security-conscious culture across the organization. The role also involves providing thought leadership on security operations, supporting go-to-market strategies, and anticipating and mitigating security risks. The successful candidate will have a passion for helping private practices thrive in the mental wellness space, strong communication skills, and the ability to manage a small team of security professionals. A Bachelor's degree in a related field is required, with advanced certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or CISA being preferred. The CISO will be expected to educate and promote a culture of security as a shared responsibility for all team members.
