Head of Security Governance — Deputy CISO — GRC lead (x/f/m)

Health can’t wait . Not for symptoms to get worse. Not for a six‑month appointment. Not for a system to catch up. But that’s exactly how healthcare works today. You wait, until you can’t. Alan exists to end the wait. Health is a universal right, and we believe this right can only become real when it’s coupled with prevention. We need to stop treating health as something we repair and start treating it as something we build, every day. It’s not solely a question of willpower. It’s the healthcare system itself that needs to work for everyone, in a sustainable way. So we are building the new standard in prevention insurance. Alan is the first company that integrates insurance, prevention, and care into a single, acclaimed user experience. We are on an incredible journey to build a global leading company, with a unique culture . We already partner with 40K+ companies of all sizes, serving more than 1M+ members, and have reached €800M+ in ARR. Prevention as the new norm. That's what we're building with our team of 800+ people. If it speaks to you: we're hiring across France, Spain, Belgium, and Canada. And beyond. Alan operates at the intersection of health insurance, prevention, and regulated data. The person in this role owns the security governance and risk posture of a company that handles sensitive health data for 1M+ members, operates under DORA and HDS certification requirements, and is regulated by the ACPR. They work in close partnership with Legal, Internal Audit, and the broader Risk function — this is a collaborative role, not a siloed one. 🛡️ Your mission — Governance, risk & compliance Own and operate the ISO 27001 ISMS. You are the accountable owner of the Information Security Management System — scope definition, Statement of Applicability, internal audit programme, and management review. You've led at least one full certification or recertification cycle and know what breaks down in the months between audits. Be the security expert in the room on regulatory and privacy matters — not the owner. Legal leads on DORA, HDS, RGPD, PGSSI-S, and regulatory relationships. Your role is to bring the technical and operational security substance: translating regulatory requirements into controls, flagging implementation gaps, and making sure the security programme holds up when the regulatory team negotiates with the ACPR or ANS. Run risk as a living programme, in partnership with the broader risk function. You lead security risk cartography using EBIOS RM and ensure it feeds into — and is informed by — the company-wide risk framework. You facilitate risk workshops, produce treatment plans, and bring the security lens to forums where non-security risks are also on the table. You know when a security risk is actually a business risk in disguise. Own the controls framework, but distribute ownership of controls themselves. You define the framework, set the standards, and track coverage — but the controls live with the teams who build and run the things they protect. You work closely with Infrastructure, Platform, and Engineering to ensure foundational building blocks (identity, network, secrets management, logging) are designed with security requirements embedded, not bolted on. You're a partner to those teams, not an auditor standing over them. Run audit cycles with rigour, in close partnership with Internal Audit. You manage the security audit programme and coordinate with certification bodies, but you're not operating in a vacuum. You work with Internal Audit to align scopes, avoid duplication, and present a coherent picture of control effectiveness to the board. You've sat in joint audit planning sessions and know how to make that relationship productive rather than territorial. Manage third-party risk with real teeth. You run vendor security assessments, define contractual security requirements (security annexes, DPAs). You partner with our Risk team, which oversees third-party risk, and own the security dimension. Bring the health sector context. You understand the ANS framework, CERT Santé requirements, and what it means to handle sensitive health data operationally — not just on paper. You're a useful partner to Legal when the question is "what does this regulation actually require us to do technically?" Own incident governance and support DORA reporting. You classify and escalate ICT incidents internally, own BCP and DRP governance, and provide the security substance for DORA incident reports. 🚀 What you'll build and who you'll work with Next-Gen Compliance Framework : ISO 27001, DORA, HDS, NIS2 — multiple regulators, multiple countries, one coherent governance backbone. Build the system that lets Alan scale from 1M to many millions of members without rebuilding compliance every time. Automated Audit & Evidence Engine : Replace manual evidence collection with scripted pipelines plugged directly into engineering systems. Turn audit cycles from quarterly fire drills into a continuous capability. Living R
