Security Advisor / CISA / Onsite in Phoenix

One of the leading enterprise technology services organizations is expanding its cybersecurity governance and advisory practice. Their focus is strengthening information security oversight within a highly regulated public sector environment, ensuring risk transparency, audit readiness, and long-term security program maturity.

They are currently seeking a Security Advisor (IT Audit / GRC Focused) to join their growing team. This position will be heavily hands-on, responsible for conducting control gap assessments, mapping technical and operational controls to NIST-aligned frameworks, supporting audit readiness efforts, and maturing governance documentation across infrastructure and application environments. The ideal candidate has a strong IT audit or GRC background with experience translating regulatory and framework requirements into actionable security controls — not just reviewing policies, but actively improving and operationalizing them.

This role does require onsite work 5 days a week in downtown Phoenix.
