Job description

VIA HealthTech automates psychotherapy documentation — from session notes to psychological reports — so therapists spend less time on admin and more time with patients.

We work at the intersection of mental healthcare, AI, and software. Security is central to what we build: we process highly sensitive data and already hold C5 and ISO27001 certification.

Aufgaben

We are looking for a hands-on IT Security & Compliance Manager to own our IT Compliance, ISMS, and our IT security setup end-to-end.

This is a broad role in a small team. You will not only maintain policies but also implement systems, configure tools, run audits, and work directly with engineering to make security a practical part of how we build.

In practice, that means:

Read the full description (30 more sections)

Compliance end-to-end: ISO27001 and, most importantly, C5: Audits, evidence, risk management, corrective actions, auditor communication, internal training

Controls: deciding what a control should be, building it, and verifying that it works

Vanta: keeping it current and accurate as we grow

Internal IT security: you own design and baseline like identity, MDM, device policies, endpoint hardening, access model, on-/offboarding

SaaS security administration: configuration, permissions, access reviews across our tool landscape

Coordinating external security work: penetration tests, security reviews, vendor and subprocessor assessments

Security documentation auditors and customers rely on: TOMs, VVT, AVVs with vendors

Qualifikation

Required:

You have carried an ISO27001 certification or C5 attestation end-to-end at least once, including audit ownership and auditor communication. C5 matters most to us, but ISO27001 or SOC 2 at that level transfers well. You can design and implement controls, not just document them.

You have owned internal IT security hands-on — identity, MDM, endpoint baselines, SaaS administration, access model — and you configure systems yourself

You work directly with engineers on technical security topics and can judge whether a control is effective in a cloud-native, infrastructure-as-code environment

Pragmatic judgment and strong operational ownership in a small, async-first team

German at working level and fluent English — auditors and clinical customers are in German, our team works in English

Nice to have:

Healthcare, or another environment handling highly sensitive data

Experience setting up IT and security in an early-stage or fast-growing company

German data protection practice: AVV, VVT, TOM, DPIA. We have an external Datenschutzbeauftragter for the legal depth, so this is useful but not required.

What matters beyond the checklist:

We are a 10-person startup. This role needs breadth, ownership, and hands-on execution. ISO27001 and C5 are in place and yours to own. That means maintaining them, keeping Vanta current, and updating controls and policies as we grow. What we don't need is someone to collect evidence. We need someone who decides what a control should actually be, builds it, and can tell whether it works.

We are not looking for someone who only writes policies, but for someone who builds and operates the security and compliance foundation VIA needs as it scales.

The role is part-time given the small team size, but workloads may vary (eg. increased when building certain security features or during the audit periods).
