Principal Product Engineer, Solution Owner - Compliance as Code

RegScale is a purpose-built cyber GRC platform designed to enable the CISO to track and monitor security controls. We help organizations break out of the slow and expensive realities that plague legacy GRC tools by bridging security, risk, and compliance through controls lifecycle management. By leveraging RegScale’s Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM) instrumentation, organizations experience massive compliance process improvements like 90% faster certification times, and 60% less audit prep time. Today's expansive security and compliance requirements can only be met with a modern, CCM-based approach, and RegScale is the market leader in that space.
