As a Senior Risk Analyst, Vendor Risk Assessment, you will be tasked with bringing technically grounded expertise to SentinelOne's Information Security GRC team. You will go beyond compliance knowledge to understand how systems work, how threats materialize, and how to evaluate vendor security controls with a critical technical eye. You will operate independently on assigned workstreams and apply hands-on IT and cybersecurity knowledge to assess risk accurately and credibly across a diverse vendor portfolio. What Will You Do? Primary responsibilities include: Conduct end-to-end vendor assessments with the ability to go beyond questionnaire responses by evaluating SOC 2 reports, penetration test findings, vulnerability disclosures, network architecture diagrams, encryption practices, and access control configurations; identify technical control gaps and translate them into actionable, risk-prioritized remediation plans. Review and interpret vendor-provided technical documentation, including system architecture diagrams, data flow maps, hardening standards, patch management practices, and incident response capabilities; apply knowledge of common IT environments (cloud, SaaS, on-prem, hybrid) to contextualize vendor risk accurately. Map vendor technical controls to ISO 27001, SSAE 18/SOC 2, SOX ITGC, GDPR, NIST CSF/SP 800-53, and SentinelOne's internal security policies; identify gaps where technical implementation falls short of framework requirements and drive closure with vendors. Own Vendor Risk Assessment workstreams and short to mid-term project objectives independently; track remediation activities to completion, validate technical evidence of fixes, and escalate unresolved risk to management with clear business impact framing. Partner with IT, Engineering, Legal, and Procurement teams to gather technical context and align on risk tolerance; communicate findings clearly to both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders by translating risk into business impact. Stay current on the evolving threat landscape, including cloud misconfigurations, supply chain attacks, and third-party data exposure risks, and apply this awareness to refine assessment criteria; begin mentoring junior analysts on technical evaluation methods and VRA tooling. Actively apply AI tools to automate repetitive VRA workflows, accelerate vendor assessments, generate reporting, and surface risk insights faster; be prepared to share concrete examples of how you have used AI to automate tasks, improve reporting, or solve real problems in your work. What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring? Ideal candidates will have: 6 or more years of experience in information security, IT risk, vendor/third-party risk management, or GRC, with hands-on experience assessing vendors across a range of technical environments and approximately 75 to 150 vendor assessments completed; prior experience in an IT, systems, or security engineering role is a strong plus. Solid understanding of core IT and security domains including network security (firewalls, segmentation, VPNs, DNS), cloud platforms and shared responsibility models (AWS, Azure, GCP), Identity and Access Management (SSO, MFA, privileged access), endpoint security, patch management and vulnerability management, data protection and encryption (at rest and in transit) and DLP, logging, monitoring and SIEM concepts, and secure SDLC and application security fundamentals. Working knowledge of ISO 27001, SOC 2 (SSAE 18), NIST CSF/SP 800-53, SOX ITGC, GDPR, and CCPA. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Security, Cybersecurity, or a related technical field, or equivalent demonstrated experience. Preferred certifications include CISA, CISM, CISSP, CompTIA Security+, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor/Implementer, CCSK, AWS/Azure Security Specialty, or equivalent. Why SentinelOne?
