Why we read it this way (6)
The role requires 1–3+ years of experience in cybersecurity, IT risk, audit, or cybersecurity operations — placing it firmly at the junior end of the career ladder despite the 'Analyst' title.
A Bachelor's degree in a related field is listed under Required Qualifications but is immediately qualified by 'or equivalent practical experience,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
Networking/OS fundamentals and exposure to computing environments (Kubernetes, VMs, infrastructure as code) appear under Required Qualifications but are framed as 'foundational understanding' and 'exposure to and some experience with' — these are contextual baselines rather than named tools that can be discretely gated on, so no separate skills were emitted for them.
All framework and tooling skills (NIST CSF, HITRUST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, FedRAMP, CIS Controls, Jira/Confluence/ServiceNow, Power BI/Tableau, Kubernetes, cloud platforms) appear under Preferred Qualifications or are framed with 'familiarity with' / 'exposure to' language.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HITRUST, and FedRAMP are mentioned in the core responsibilities as audit standards the role supports, but the JD does not gate candidates on prior experience with them — they are listed as preferred qualifications only.
The location is Boston, MA (InterSystems HQ); no remote or hybrid designation is stated in the posting.
