The posting lists 10-15 years of experience in both security consulting and enterprise security; 10 years is used as the minimum total experience figure.
CISSP, CISA, CISM, and CIPP are listed together as 'strongly desired' equivalents — captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives rather than separate entries.
FFIEC, GLBA, SOX, CMMC, and EU AI Act appear in the job functions/responsibilities narrative rather than the Required Skills section, so they are marked preferred.
The role is headquartered in Irvine, CA, but the posting notes major offices across the US and mentions travel requirements; it does not explicitly offer fully remote work.
The title 'Solutions Architect, GRC' carries no seniority level word, so advertised seniority is Unspecified; the 10-15 year requirement and executive advisory scope support a Senior classification.
