What this job asks for AI summary
This role at HP centers on owning the full lifecycle of enterprise cybersecurity policies and governance frameworks — drafting, reviewing, and maturing standards while ensuring alignment with regulatory obligations. The position requires deep familiarity with frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, CIS, GDPR, and PCI DSS, and involves significant cross-functional engagement with IT, Legal, Risk, and executive leadership. It suits an experienced governance and compliance professional who can translate technical controls into clear, business-facing policy.

Why we read it this way (8)
The job title and responsibilities are squarely in cybersecurity governance, policy, and compliance — not infrastructure operations — so 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is the best fit, though the role is unusually policy/writing-heavy rather than technical-analysis-heavy; 15-1299 is noted as a runner-up.
Work location is not explicitly stated in the posting beyond 'United States of America'; no specific city or CBSA is given. HP's primary US headquarters is in Palo Alto/Houston, but the CBSA field cannot be reliably determined from this posting alone.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's or Graduate degree … or equivalent experience,' which means equivalent experience is accepted in lieu of a degree — treated as no hard degree gate.
Professional certifications (CISSP, CISM, CRISC, ISO 27001/NIST-related) are described as 'highly desirable,' not required — listed as preferred.
'Policy lifecycle management tools or governance platforms' are described as 'preferred' and 'AI' as 'a plus' — both listed as preferred.
The 7–10 year range yields a overall years minimum of 7.
Compensation includes bonus and/or equity in addition to the stated base salary range.
