When you apply for this job through ComputerPeople Staffing, you’ll get insider intel on the role, the team, and the culture, plus hands-on support with your resume, interview prep, and offer negotiation. All at no cost to you. Let’s get you hired!About the Company

Are you an IT professional who has supported an audit — handled evidence gathering, helped remediate findings, or worked through SOX compliance cycles — but never held the Auditor title? This role was built for you.

Our client is a well-established, highly profitable and employee centric organization headquartered in the suburbs of Buffalo, NY. They are undergoing several exciting technology initiatives and need to add an analytical and “risk aware” technologist to their IT Audit team which is part of a 20 person Audit department. 

You DO NOT need to be a current IT Auditor to be considered. The team strongly prefers training the audit methodology to a technically strong professional if they have not formally held an IT Audit role. Candidates from any technology discipline are encouraged to apply — Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, Software Development, IT Risk & Compliance, GRC, or any role where analytical thinking, process evaluation, and risk identification are central to the work. The key qualities they are looking for are an analytical mindset, strong attention to detail, and a genuine understanding of why identifying and remediating risk matters.

About the Job 

This team performs meaningful, varied audit work across the full IT environment. Recent projects have included MFA rollout gap analysis, patch management and cybersecurity risk reviews, SOX controls testing across 9 systems (access management, change management, disaster recovery), cloud services and network governance audits, and risk audits for system upgrades and new implementations. If you find that kind of work interesting — even if you’ve approached it from the IT side rather than the audit side — this role is worth a conversation.

As an IT Auditor, you will serve as a critical partner in protecting the organization’s systems, data, and processes. Your work will directly influence the maturity of IT controls and the organization’s compliance posture.

• Analyze IT systems and infrastructure to identify risks, vulnerabilities, and opportunities to strengthen security controls
• Plan, execute, and/or assist with IT audits to assess compliance with SOX and internal policies
• Evaluate IT processes, document findings, and deliver clear recommendations for improvement to IT and business stakeholders
• Identify and communicate control gaps, process improvement opportunities, and compliance risks
• Collaborate with external auditors on control changes, walkthroughs, and testing procedures
• Perform system upgrade audits to confirm that SDLC best practices are being followed

Why This Role Stands Out

• Hybrid schedule: 3 days in office, 2 days remote
• Employer-sponsored path to CISA certification 
• Broad scope — you’ll work across the entire IT environment, not siloed into one system
• Long-term career growth in a function that is increasingly strategic to organizations of all sizes.  Pathway to technology roles as well.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree required
• 7+ years of professional IT experience
• Working knowledge of IT systems, architectures, and related internal controls
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Exceptional analytical and communication skills — you can translate technical risk into business language
• Process-oriented mindset with strong attention to detail

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with IT governance and control frameworks such as NIST, COBIT, and/or ITIL
• Familiarity with data analytics tools and/or leveraging AI to increase productivity and efficiency

Benefits & Perks

• Annual Bonus
• Career Development Program
• Low-cost medical, dental and prescription Drug Coverage
• Flexible, hybrid work schedule
• Very generous Paid Time Off
• Paid Training & Certification / Tuition Reimbursement
• 401(k) with match
• Additional Company Funded Retirement Savings Account (even if you don’t contribute to 401K)
• Free parking, onsite gym and cafeteria
• Hybrid work schedule

About the Role

Our client, an established and highly regarded industry leader in Western New York, is seeking an experienced Information Security Analyst to serve as the primary security professional within their IT organization. This is a newly created role — the result of a long-tenured security leader stepping into an executive position — meaning the program is mature, the tools are in place, and this person walks into a well-documented, well-resourced environment rather than starting from scratch.

You’ll be responsible for executing a structured monthly security program, managing a robust security toolset, maintaining NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation 500 (23 NYCRR 500) compliance, and serving as the organization’s go-to resource for all things information security. If you’re a hands-on security professional with audit experience, solid framework knowledge, and a methodical approach to risk and remediation, this role offers real ownership in a stable, respected organization.

What You’ll Do

• Execute a defined monthly security program including monitoring, alerting, vulnerability management, and follow-up on findings
• Monitor networks and endpoints via SIEM and EDR tools; investigate anomalies and triage security events
• Manage vendor vulnerability disclosures — assess severity, develop remediation plans, and track resolution
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders and external partners on annual NYDFS 500 audits and ongoing compliance activities
• Conduct and oversee security assessments including penetration testing, phishing simulations (KnowBe4), vishing, and social engineering exercises; manage follow-up training for users who fail tests
• Work with an external security partner (monthly rotating engagements — external pen tests, internal attack simulations, and more) to maintain a layered security posture
• Develop, maintain, and enforce security policies and procedures; cross-train IT staff to build organizational resilience
• Prepare clear, standardized reports detailing threats, vulnerabilities, risks, and recommended mitigation steps
• Respond to ad-hoc internal security support requests
• Assist with company-wide system upgrades as needed

Security Tools & Technologies

You’ll work within a well-established, multi-layered security stack, including:

• Vulnerability Management: Tenable
• Penetration Testing: Kali Linux, Acunetix / Invicti
• Endpoint Detection & Response: Carbon Black Detect and Protect
• Security Awareness & Phishing Simulation: KnowBe4 (managed internally)
• External Security Partner: Hack at Cyber (monthly rotating engagements)
• SIEM: Security Information and Event Management platform
• Endpoint & Device Management: Microsoft Intune compliance policies
• Firewall: Rule and policy management
• OS Hardening: Operating system hardening tools and best practices
• Anti-malware: Endpoint protection solutions

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on information security experience; equivalent experience considered in lieu of a degree
• Demonstrated experience with security audits, remediation tracking, and incident response — candidates who have never been through a full audit cycle will not be considered
• Working knowledge of security frameworks including CIS Controls, NIST, ISO 27001, or similar — ability to apply framework knowledge to real-world decisions (e.g., evaluating proposed changes against NYDFS 500 requirements)
• Hands-on experience with vulnerability management, SIEM monitoring, EDR tools, and penetration testing methodologies
• Familiarity with NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation 500 (23 NYCRR 500) is a strong plus; broader regulated industry compliance experience acceptable
• Strong documentation skills; ability to write clear policies, procedures, and executive-ready reports
• Comfortable communicating security risk to both technical teams and non-technical leadership
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage a structured monthly program and respond to unplanned events

Outstanding Benefits!

• HYBRID schedule (2 days onsite/3 days remote after ~90 day onboarding period)
• Pension Plan !
• Generous Profit Sharing
• 401K with match

• 4 weeks PTO to start
• 5 days Sick time
• 10 Holidays
• Newly renovated work space including sit/stand desks
