Security & Compliance Analyst (HIPAA)

Cadence ABA builds AI-native clinical software for ABA practices — capturing session data by voice, structuring it into trial-by-trial records, and drafting billable, CPT-mapped session notes for clinician review and signature. Because Cadence handles protected health information (PHI) as a HIPAA-compliant, BAA-backed platform, we're looking for a Security & Compliance Analyst to help maintain and strengthen our security posture, compliance controls, and audit readiness as we grow.

What you'll do

• Maintain and continuously improve our HIPAA compliance program, including risk assessments, policies, and administrative, technical, and physical safeguards
• Monitor access controls, audit logs, and encryption practices across systems that store or transmit PHI
• Support and help manage Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with vendors and subprocessors that touch PHI
• Conduct internal audits and gap assessments, and track remediation of findings to closure
• Partner with engineering to review system design, data flows, and new features for security and compliance implications
• Prepare documentation and evidence for external audits, customer security questionnaires, and compliance certifications

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of experience in security, compliance, or IT risk roles, ideally with direct HIPAA experience
• Solid understanding of HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, including risk analysis and breach notification requirements
• Experience with access control models, audit logging, and encryption practices for data in transit and at rest
• Familiarity with vendor risk management and BAA review
• Strong written communication skills for policies, audit responses, and stakeholder reporting
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with engineering, product, and clinical teams

Nice to have

• Experience in a healthcare technology or SaaS company handling PHI
• Familiarity with SOC 2 or other compliance frameworks alongside HIPAA
• Background supporting audit-defensible data lineage or role-based access systems
