• Assist in maintaining compliance documentation and evidence aligned with frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS (global standards for cloud and information security). 

• Contribute to GRC Engineering initiatives focused on automation, data accuracy, and process efficiency in security assurance activities. 

• Participate in internal security and privacy reviews, ensuring documentation accuracy, consistency, and confidentiality. 

• Support projects that enhance visibility and reporting on security posture and compliance performance through data or process improvements. 

• Collaborate with global team members to learn how governance and risk management evolve to strengthen customer and organizational trust. 

Preferred Skills & Academic Background:

• Pursuing a B.Tech / B.E. / M.Tech / MCA / M.Sc. in Information Security, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. 

• Strong interest in information security, risk management, and compliance. 

• Familiarity with key security standards (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS) or relevant coursework. 

• Analytical mindset with strong attention to detail and curiosity in connecting security, risk, and business objectives. 

• Optional: exposure to scripting, automation, machine learning, or AI tools. 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills. 

What You’ll Gain :

• Real-world experience in security governance, customer and vendor risk management, and compliance frameworks. 

• Insight into how GRC builds and sustains trust across a global SaaS organization. 

• Mentorship from experienced professionals in Information Security, GRC, and GRC Engineering. 

• Collaboration with a global security and compliance team across multiple regions. 

• A foundation for future roles in security assurance, GRC engineering, AI security, or risk analytics. 

• Potential for high-performing interns to be considered for future opportunities at Alteryx.
