hatch IT is partnering with Assura to find a Senior Virtual Information Security Officer (Senior VISO). Please see details below:

About the Role

The Senior Virtual Information Security Officer (Senior VISO) is a CISO-level advisor who ensures the quality, consistency, and strategic direction of Assura’s GRC engagements. This is not a hands-on implementation role and not a people-management role (today). Think of this position as similar to a consulting engagement partner:

- You guide strategy

- You oversee quality

- You mentor and support VISOs

- You build client confidence at the executive level

About the Company

Assura is a cybersecurity firm with nearly 20 years of singular focus on information security. We work primarily with state, local, and education (SLED) organizations that need real-world, practical security leadership — not checkbox compliance or theoretical frameworks. Our team is made up of career cybersecurity practitioners, not career consultants. We take the work seriously, but not ourselves. People stay here because they’re supported, trusted, and given room to grow.

Prior consulting or advisory experience

Ability to communicate confidently with executives and boards
