Role Summary
We are looking for a Cyber Security GRC Consultant who combines governance and compliance expertise with hands-on technical skills in penetration testing and vulnerability assessment. You will lead compliance engagements from gap assessment to audit readiness. You will also validate controls technically and produce clear, audit-ready documentation and reports for both executive and technical readers.
This role suits someone who writes as well as they hack: able to turn a complex finding or control requirement into a precise, defensible document.
Key Responsibilities
Compliance consulting and delivery
- Lead and deliver PCI DSS (v4.0.x) engagements: scoping, CDE identification, network segmentation review, gap assessment, remediation roadmaps, and readiness for QSA assessment, SAQ or ROC.
- Implement and assess compliance with ISO/IEC 27001:2022, including risk assessment, Statement of Applicability, internal audits and certification readiness.
- Perform gap assessments and implementation support against NCA ECC, Aramco CCC (Third-Party Cybersecurity Standard) and the SAMA Cyber Security Framework, and cross-map controls across frameworks to avoid duplicated effort.
- Support clients through external audits, certification and regulator assessments.
Governance, risk and documentation
- Develop and review policies, standards, procedures, risk registers, asset inventories, incident response plans, BCP/DR documentation and evidence repositories.
- Run risk assessments and maintain treatment plans aligned to client business context.
- Build compliance matrices, control mappings, dashboards and management reports.
Technical security assessment
- Conduct or technically oversee vulnerability assessments (network, systems, cloud, applications) and penetration tests (internal, external, web, API, wireless).
- Validate the technical controls behind compliance requirements, such as segmentation, hardening, logging and monitoring, access control, encryption and patch management.
- Review firewall, endpoint and network security configurations (e.g., Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco, Sophos, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender).
- Translate technical findings into risk-ranked, actionable remediation guidance, and re-test fixes.
Reporting and client engagement
- Produce high-quality reports in English: executive summaries, technical findings, compliance gap reports and remediation plans.
- Present findings and progress to CISOs, IT leads, compliance officers and board-level stakeholders.
- Act as a trusted advisor throughout the engagement, and support pre-sales activities such as scoping, proposals and technical solution input.
Internal contribution
- Help build InfoStream's GRC methodology, templates, toolkits and reusable documentation.
- Mentor junior consultants and security analysts.
- Keep current with changes in Saudi regulations (NCA, SAMA, CST, SDAIA/PDPL) and international standards.
- Bachelor/Honors
- Bachelor's degree in Cyber Security, Information Security, Computer Science, IT or a related field.
- At least 3 years
- The applicants should have experience in the following business area(s): Banks, Insurance, Investment/Merchant Banking, Manufacturing (FMCG), Pharmaceutical/Medicine Companies
- Age 24 to 50 years
- 5+ years of experience in cyber security GRC, with at least 2 years in hands-on technical security testing (VA/PT).
- Proven delivery of PCI DSS and ISO 27001 projects, with working knowledge of at least two of NCA ECC, SAMA CSF and Aramco CCC.
- Strong command of VA/PT methodology and tools (e.g., Nessus, Qualys, Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, Kali toolset) and frameworks such as OWASP, PTES and NIST SP 800-115.
- Exceptional written communication: policy drafting, audit evidence handling and technical report writing, with a portfolio or sample reports you can discuss (anonymised).
- Strong understanding of network, cloud, identity and endpoint security fundamentals.
- Fluent professional English.
