Business Development Representative

JOB ID: Securicy-BDR-001

 It is becoming increasingly difficult for organizations to function in today’s technological world without having proper information security. Enterprise organizations lead this charge, as they will not work with vendors who can’t prove their data to be secure. Startups and SMEs are losing major deals to inaccurate or insufficient answers to confusing security questionnaires, to say nothing of the cyber attack and data breach risks they leave themselves vulnerable to.

High-growth companies use Securicy to implement information security practices that win business!

Our web-based software enables organizations to efficiently implement, maintain and demonstrate a strong information security program. Securicy’s software has navigated companies through the complex security requirements of major players like Microsoft, Netflix, National Bank, Target and more.
