Role We are building our information security function from the ground up. As our first Information Security Manager / GRC Lead, you will be the operational owner of Flam's entire compliance programme and working hands-on in Scrut.io to drive ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type I certification within 3–4 months. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role at a company whose core product is AI — meaning you will be helping define what responsible AI security looks like in practice, not just checking boxes. What You'll Own ISO 27001 & SOC 2 Implementation • Drive end-to-end implementation of ISO 27001:2022 across all 88 applicable Annex A controls and SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria, using Scrut.io as the single source of truth • Own the Statement of Applicability (SoA), risk register, risk treatment plan, and all ISMS documentation • Coordinate evidence collection across Engineering, DevOps, HR, Finance, and Sales — translating control requirements into actionable tasks for each team • Manage the internal audit cycle, prepare for Stage 1 and Stage 2 ISO 27001 audits, and coordinate with the external CPA firm for SOC 2 • Track all 239 Scrut controls to completion, assign owners, and chase evidence deadlines Policy & Documentation • Draft, review, and get management approval for all ISMS policies — Access Control, Incident Response, Data Classification, BCP/DR, Vendor Management, Acceptable Use, and more • Maintain the legal and regulatory register covering CCPA/CPRA (California) and applicable federal requirements • Ensure all policies are published, acknowledged, and kept current in Scrut Risk Management • Conduct and maintain the organisation's information security risk assessment — identifying threats, scoring likelihood and impact, and producing a risk treatment plan • Maintain the risk register in Scrut and present findings at quarterly ISG meetings and annual Management Review Meetings (MRM) • Conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for new product features,



particularly those involving personal data Vendor & Third-Party Security • Own the vendor security assessment programme — completing questionnaires and reviews for GCP, Modal.com, and all critical SaaS tools • Ensure security clauses are present in all vendor contracts and customer MSAs • Maintain the third-party inventory in Scrut with classification and review cadence Security Awareness & Culture • Launch and manage the company-wide security awareness training programme for 100 employees — track completion in Scrut • Run quarterly phishing simulations and document results • Build a security-first culture — be the person people come to with questions, not the person who sends scary emails Incident Response & Monitoring • Own and maintain the Incident Response Policy and Playbook • Coordinate tabletop exercises before audit milestones • Monitor and triage security events in collaboration with the DevOps and IT teams What We're Looking For Must Have • 3–5 years of experience in information security, GRC, or compliance roles • Hands-on experience implementing or maintaining ISO 27001 — you have been through at least one certification cycle end-to-end • Solid understanding of SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria and what auditors look for • Experience using a GRC platform (Scrut.io, Vanta, Drata, Tugboat Logic, or equivalent) • Ability to translate technical security controls into plain-English policies and evidence tasks that non- security teams can execute • Strong project management skills — you are comfortable owning deadlines, chasing stakeholders, and escalating blockers • Familiarity with cloud security concepts — GCP or AWS — and what 'shared responsibility model' means in practice Nice to Have • ISO 27001 Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor certification (PECB, BSI, or equivalent) • CISSP, CISM, or CISA certification • Experience with AI/ML product companies or platforms handling sensitive personal data • Familiarity with CCPA/CPRA data protection requirements • Experience with DPDP Act 2023 (India) — practical given our India operations • Prior startup experience — comfortable building programmes with limited resources
