You’ll contribute to meaningful, real‑world work while developing skills that directly impact organizational resilience.
Our Security Analyst Intern must have reliable availability during agreed-upon collaboration windows for meetings and check-ins, communicate progress asynchronously, and meet weekly deliverables.

Assist with vendor risk assessments by collecting due diligence artifacts (e.g., SOC reports, security questionnaires, policies) and tracking status.
Review questionnaire responses and evidence for completeness; summarize observations and follow up with vendors and internal stakeholders for clarifications.
Help document vendor risks, compensating controls, and remediation items in the company’s third-party risk management (TPRM) system; maintain clean, audit-ready records.
Support security awareness training planning: build and maintain the training calendar, coordinate campaign logistics, and assist with rollout communications.
Assist with awareness platform setup (as applicable): user/group uploads, assignment rules, testing workflows, and QA of training modules and phishing simulations.
Track participation, completion, and simulation results; help produce simple metrics dashboards and end-of-campaign summaries.
Draft and update program documentation, job aids, FAQs, and internal wiki pages related to vendor assessments and security awareness.
Provide general support for GRC and security program activities as needed (e.g., meeting notes, light research, process improvement tasks).
Internship Requirements:
Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Systems, Computer Science, Risk Management, or a related field.
Interest in (or coursework related to) third-party risk management, security governance, or compliance.
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail; able to manage multiple tasks and follow documented processes.
Familiarity with common security and privacy frameworks/attestations (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF) is a plus; willingness to learn is required.
Clear written and verbal communication skills; comfortable collaborating with internal teams and following up with vendors professionally.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office (especially Excel) or Google Workspace; able to learn new tools quickly.
Able to work effectively in a fully remote environment, including participating in virtual meetings and communicating status clearly.
Must have reliable home office internet access.
Preferred Skills:
Experience with or interest in creating training content, communications, or internal documentation (e.g., writing, editing, basic design).
Comfort working with basic metrics and reporting (e.g., pivot tables/charts) and/or familiarity with learning management systems or security awareness platforms is a nice to have.
