Position Overview :

We're looking for a Security Compliance Analyst to join our Security team and help us scale compliance operations as we grow across Europe.

You'll work closely with the Security Manager and another analyst to maintain our Information Security Management System (ISMS), support regulatory compliance initiatives (ISO 27001, DORA, NIS2, GDPR), and build processes that make compliance efficient - not bureaucratic.

This is a hands-on role where you'll contribute to audits, risk assessments, vendor reviews, and security monitoring while collaborating with Engineering, Legal, HR, and IT teams.

Your mission

Maintain and improve our ISMS

Keep our ISO 27001-certified ISMS operational, up-to-date, and audit-ready. Track compliance KPIs, identify gaps, propose improvements, and drive remediation plans.

Support regulatory compliance

Contribute to DORA, NIS2, and GDPR compliance initiatives. Prepare documentation, evidence, and responses for internal and external audits. Monitor regulatory changes and assess impact.

Manage third-party risk

Conduct security reviews of SaaS/cloud vendors and third parties. Track vendor risk registers and follow up on remediation actions. Support procurement and legal teams with security requirements.

Strengthen security operations

Participate in security incident follow-up and post-mortem analysis. Contribute to access reviews, IAM controls, and monitoring activities. Support security awareness programs across teams.

Automate and optimize

Help automate compliance workflows using tools like Vanta, Jira, and scripts. Maintain and improve security documentation, policies, and procedures. Reduce manual work by identifying repetitive tasks.

Must-have

• 2–5 years of experience in cybersecurity, IT compliance, GRC, or security operations

• Solid knowledge of ISO 27001 and experience working with ISMS frameworks

• Understanding of regulatory requirements: GDPR, DORA, NIS2, or similar compliance standards

• Experience with audit processes: preparing evidence, responding to findings, tracking remediation

• Risk management foundations: able to assess risks, prioritize controls, and track mitigation plans

• Cloud & SaaS security awareness: understanding of IAM, SSO, RBAC, and how SaaS tools introduce risk

• Cross-functional collaboration skills: able to work with technical and non-technical teams

• Autonomy and organization: able to manage multiple priorities and deliver on time

• Professional English: written and spoken

Nice to have

• Experience with compliance automation tools (Vanta, Drata, or similar)

• Familiarity with identity and access management tools (Okta, Google Workspace)

• Exposure to SIEM, monitoring tools, or SOC operations (Datadog, Splunk, etc.)

• Previous work in a fast-paced SaaS or fintech environment

• ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor certification
  

Why join PayFit

• Real impact: Your work directly affects how we protect customer data and scale securely

• Pragmatic compliance: We care about security outcomes, not just checkbox compliance

• Modern tools : We use tools like Vanta, Okta, AWS, Datadog, GitHub, Jira

• Autonomy : You'll own projects end-to-end, not just execute tasks

• Learning : Exposure to multiple compliance frameworks, cross-border regulations, and a fast-evolving threat landscape
