Washington, D.C.

Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors, Peregrine helps public safety organizations, state and local and governments, federal agencies, and private-sector institutions address society’s challenges with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Our AI-enabled platform turns siloed and disconnected data into operational intelligence — instantly surfacing mission-critical information to empower better, faster decisions that improve outcomes at every touchpoint. Today Peregrine supports hundreds of customers across 30+ states and two countries, serving more than 125 million people — and we’re amplifying our impact as we expand into the enterprise and internationally. 

The Role

We’re looking for a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Analyst to help strengthen and scale our security and compliance program. In this role, you’ll support developing and maintaining frameworks that ensure our organization meets key regulatory, contractual, and operational standards across data protection, privacy, and security.

You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and leadership teams to maintain compliance with frameworks like SOC 2, CJIS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST 800-53, and FedRAMP as our business expands across new markets and government sectors. This position is ideal for someone who’s detail-oriented, collaborative, and excited to build structured compliance practices that make a real impact on security and trust.

What You’ll Do

  • Support the implementation, tracking, and continuous improvement of compliance frameworks (SOC 2, CJIS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, GDPR, FedRAMP, NIST 800-53).
  • Manage and organize compliance documentation, internal audits, and evidence collection for both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to update policies, procedures, and controls related to data protection, access management, and incident response.
  • Maintain strong awareness of security best practices in cloud environments - particularly AWS - including services like GuardDuty, SecurityHub, Amazon Inspector, and AWS Config.
  • Use compliance management tools such as Vanta, Drata, SecureFrame, or HyperProof to streamline reporting and evidence collection.
  • Partner with technical teams to ensure identity and access management (IAM), MFA, and least-privilege principles are applied correctly.
  • Contribute to audit readiness and help respond to customer and vendor compliance inquiries.
  • Be based in one of our hubs, with a 4-day-per-week in-office requirement.

About You

  • Experience: 7-10 years of experience in information security, compliance, or risk management within regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance or government).
  • Framework Familiarity: Working knowledge of SOC 2, HIPAA, CJIS, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, or similar frameworks.
  • Technical Knowledge: Understanding of cloud-native SaaS environments, microservices, VPCs/VPNs, and identity management concepts such as RBAC and MFA.
  • Detail-Oriented: You thrive on structure, accuracy, and organization - especially when managing documentation and multiple compliance tasks.
  • Collaborative & Curious: You enjoy learning from others, contributing to shared goals, and improving processes along the way.
  • Clear Communicator: You can translate complex security concepts into simple, actionable language for different audiences.

Preferred Certifications

  • Governance & Compliance: CGRC, CISSP, CISA, CIPP/US, HCISPP, CompTIA Security+.
  • Cloud Security: CCSP, CCSK, AWS Security – Specialty, AWS Solutions Architect – Associate, or CompTIA Cloud+.

Bonus Points

  • Experience working with public safety, justice, or government agencies, or other highly regulated data environments.
  • Familiarity with CJIS, SOC-2 or overlapping control frameworks.
  • Passion for building scalable, user-friendly compliance systems in a fast-growing organization.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
