    LOCAL HOUSTON AREA CANDIDATES PLEASE

    This is a contract to hire opportunity to join a very stable Healthcare related organization located near Westpark Tollway/Beltway 8 in Houston. This opportunity provides a long‑term future.

    The company is seeking someone who is truly passionate about IT Security.

    POSITION TITLE: IT Security Architect

    LOCATION: Houston, TX

    REPORTS TO: VP of IT/CIO

    CONVERSION SALARY: $140K-$160K base range plus bonus and great benefits

    POSITION SUMMARY: The IT Security Architect plays an integral role in defining and assessing the company's security strategy, architecture and practices. The IT Security Architect will be required to effectively translate business objectives and risk management strategies into specific security processes enabled by security technologies and services.

    The role of the IT Security Architect demands business insight, technical acuity and the ability to think and communicate (verbal and written) focusing on different audiences throughout the organization (technical and non‑technical). This individual must possess both project supervision skills and in‑depth technical ability to architect, engineer and operate security processes, solutions and tools.

    This is an expert/hands‑on role that requires the ability to work in an enterprise environment, where system availability is critical, and the ability to interact across IT, operations and business owners to define security requirements. This role is required to keep up to date on security policy, standards and procedures and to ensure they are consistently followed.

    ESSENTIAL DUTIES/RESPONSIBILITIES

    • Develop and maintain a security architecture process that enables the enterprise to develop and implement security solutions and capabilities that are clearly aligned with business, technology and threat drivers, both within traditional IT and Operational Technologies
    • Develop security strategy plans and roadmaps based on sound enterprise architecture practices
    • Develop and maintain security architecture artifacts (e.g., models, templates, standards and procedures) that can be used to leverage security capabilities in projects and operations
    • Participate in Security Incident Response and escalated troubleshooting events
    • Ability to get "hands‑on" with the organizations' security tools, when needed
    • Track developments and changes in the digital business and threat environments to ensure that they're adequately addressed in security strategy plans and architecture artifacts
    • Participate in application, infrastructure and OT projects to provide security‑planning advice
    • Determine baseline security configuration standards for operating systems (e.g., OS hardening), network segmentation, and identity and access management (IAM)
    • Help develop the organization's data classification criteria
    • Develop standards and practices for data encryption and tokenization in the organization, based on the organization's data classification criteria
    • Conduct or facilitate threat modeling of services and applications that tie to the risk and data associated with the service or application
    • Ensure a complete, accurate and valid inventory of all systems, infrastructure and applications that should be logged by the security information and event management (SIEM) or log management tool
    • Establish a taxonomy of indicators of compromise (IOCs) and share this detail with other security colleagues, including the security operations center (SOC), information security engineers and analysts, as well as other counterparts within IT
    • Validate IT infrastructure and other reference architectures for security best practices and recommend changes to enhance security and reduce risks, where applicable
    • Validate security configurations and access to security infrastructure tools, including firewalls, IPSs, WAFs and anti‑malware/endpoint protection systems
    • Review network segmentation to ensure least privilege for network access
    • Liaise with the Information Security Compliance and Internal Audit teams to review and evaluate the design and operational effectiveness of security‑related controls
    • Review security technologies, tools and services, and make recommendations to the broader security team for their use, based on security, financial and operational metrics
    • Coordinate with operational and facility management teams to assess the security of operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) systems

    JOB QUALIFICATIONS

    • Education: BS in Computer Science, Information Systems, Information Security preferred (but not necessary) or equivalent required.
    • Professional Certifications: CISSP, other Security certifications a plus
    • At least 3-5 years of experience architecting enterprise security solutions.
    • At least 7-10 years of experience with security incident response, including resolving and documenting complex security issues including root cause analysis, prevention and workarounds
    • Documented experience and a strong working knowledge of the methodologies to conduct threat‑modeling exercises on new applications and services.
