About the job
About Railnova
At Railnova, we are at the forefront of innovation in the railway industry, creating digital solutions that cater to a highly regulated and security-conscious environment. As the demand for robust cybersecurity and compliance measures intensifies—spanning standards such as ISO 27001, IEC 62443, ISO 9001, NIS2, and GDPR—we are committed to enhancing our internal ownership of these crucial areas.
We are seeking a Security & Compliance Lead to spearhead our security-related compliance and governance initiatives company-wide, collaborating closely with our technical teams in a practical and realistic manner.
Role Overview
The Security & Compliance Lead will be responsible for overseeing and advancing Railnova’s information security and product cybersecurity compliance.
This position emphasizes governance, compliance, and accountability rather than the development of security mechanisms or the management of daily security operations. A technical background is essential for effective communication with engineering teams and for making informed decisions—this role is not intended to replace those teams.
In addition, the role will aid in the maintenance and enhancement of Railnova’s ISO 9001-based process framework, particularly in areas supporting security, compliance, traceability, and continuous improvement.
The position reports directly to the CEO and works in collaboration with Product, Engineering, IT, Hardware, Embedded Software, and Operations teams.
As a smaller organization (approximately 35 employees), this role combines ownership and coordination with focused execution, primarily relating to audits, documentation support, and compliance tools.
