Establish and run the vendor security assessment process — building a scalable due diligence framework for third-party onboarding

What you'll need

Working knowledge of SIEM platforms and detection engineering - you've written detection rules, not just consumed alerts

Ability to assess and secure emerging AI/agentic tooling - you understand the risks of LLM integrations, MCP servers, and automated workflows, and can define practical guardrails

Experience running or contributing to vendor security assessments and third-party due diligence
