Mission:
At Eden Data, we know that startups have trouble understanding their cybersecurity and compliance needs. We believe that every startup deserves the highest level of security so we created the systems and processes that will keep their data safe so that they can stop worrying about security, and focus on growing their amazing companies. We bring peace to startups by providing the best cybersecurity and CISO services in the world because their founders come alive when they get to focus their energy on growing their company.
More specifically: we want to serve 10,000 startups by 2025.
Values:
Integrity: delivering on the commitments we make to our customers and to each other.
Innovation: constantly striving to accomplish our mission in new, novel ways. It’s not enough to simply solve our customer's problems in the same fashion, over and over again. We should instead strive to think of innovative ways to solve said problems in a better way, every single time.
Relationships: we are in the business of bringing peace of mind and for that to be effective, we need to establish better relationships for our clients. Always strive to go beyond the transactional connection and build camaraderie with every single person we have the great pleasure of serving.
Principles:
We Bring Order to Chaos
• Imitate, Then Innovate: We have not invented cybersecurity or compliance and there is no need for us to when there are amazing, collective knowledge foundations out there that are constantly striving to evolve security standards. However, this doesn't mean that we shouldn't take those concepts and innovate them in a manner that is unique to Eden Data, therefore making Eden Data a more original company.
• Always treat clients like they are brand new
• Follow Up, Follow Through, Follow Back
Key Characteristics:
• Profit Driven: We do work that is profitable and allows us to scale to help more companies.
• Willing to Learn: If there's a problem we can't solve, we'll find the resources to figure it out.
• Intelligent Communicator: We communicate with the customers and each other in a clear, professional, and intelligent manner.
Who You Are: You are a proactive, assertive, take-charge person who loves to think ahead. You want a fast-paced environment with plenty of room to achieve goals with independence and freedom. You bring positivity and energy to every conversation.
You will lead us to success in Eden Data’s delivery efforts across every customer that you serve. You can expect to work daily with all sorts of fellow security/compliance rock stars and have direct access to Taylor Hersom (CEO), Dominique Singer (VP of Strategy), and AJ Dehn (Director) with plenty of mentorship to maximize your success. We’d love a smart, hungry person to take this role and, over the next few years, become the top 0.1% in how to win in the startup security space and learn what we know about building a great business along the way.
What This Role Entails:
• Establishing the best security, compliance, and privacy programs for our clients
• Effectively communicating with customers, vendors, and teammates to implement leading security practices
• Leading client teams in building and implementing effective security compliance programs
• Preparing clients for security audits and guiding them through all parts of the audit process
• Supporting vendor management, customer security questionnaire responses, risk assessments, and personnel management processes
• Communicating with client and investor leadership
• Leading cybersecurity training sessions
What This Role Will Help Build:
Our vCISOs will be constantly improving the security and compliance programs that we build for our clients. We pride ourselves in having the best resources and recommendations for startups specifically. When we build something great for a customer, we turn it into a resource that can be carried to our other customers dealing with a similar problem.
