About The Role

Keka is looking for a GRC qualified to own and mature our compliance and risk management program across multiple frameworks and jurisdictions. You will work closely with the CISO, engineering, legal, and customer-facing teams to keep Keka audit-ready, close third-party risk gaps, and represent our security posture to prospects and clients directly.

Key Responsibilities

Frameworks & Certifications

Own day-to-day compliance operations for ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, including control ownership, evidence collection, and continuous readiness (not just audit-time scrambling)
Track control gaps, drive remediation with engineering/IT ops, and maintain the compliance calendar across certification cycles

ITGC

Own IT General Controls testing and evidence across access management, change management, backup/DR, logical security, and computer operations
Design and maintain ITGC control matrices mapped to ISO 27001/SOC 2 requirements, avoiding duplicate audit asks across frameworks
Coordinate with engineering/DevOps/IT ops to pull periodic evidence (access reviews,



change logs, backup test results) on a recurring cadence rather than only at audit time
Support ITGC walkthroughs for financial/SOX-adjacent audits if/when applicable to Keka's customers or investors

Regulatory Compliance

Manage GDPR and DPDPA compliance programs – DPIAs, RoPA, breach notification workflows, data subject request handling
Maintain CCPA compliance posture for US-facing operations
Build and maintain working knowledge of regional regulations relevant to Keka's expansion markets – Middle East (e.g., UAE PDPL, Saudi PDPL) and Philippines (RA 10173 / Data Privacy Act) – and translate these into internal controls and contract-ready positions

Audits

Serve as primary point of contact for internal and external auditors across ISO 27001, SOC 2, ITGC, and customer-driven audits
Prepare audit evidence packages, walk auditors through controls, and manage audit findings through closure
