About 100ms
100ms is building AI agents that automate complex patient access workflows in U.S. healthcare—starting with benefits verification, prior authorisation, referral intake, appointment scheduling, and patient intake. We help care teams reduce delays and administrative burden so that patients can start treatment faster.
Our automation platform combines deep healthcare domain knowledge with LLM-based agents and robust ops infrastructure.
We are fully HIPAA-compliant with secure, U.S.-based data storage, and we serve hospitals, health systems, payers, and specialty pharmacies across the country.
The Role
- We’re looking for a Lead, Compliance & Security to own and operationalise 100ms’s entire security posture, regulatory compliance programmes, and privacy framework. Reporting to the CTO (or CEO), you will be the single-threaded owner of HIPAA compliance, SOC 2 certification, and enterprise security—building policies, tooling, and a culture of security from scratch.
- This is a foundational, high-impact role. You’ll work cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, Legal, and Customer Success to make security a competitive advantage with U.S. healthcare enterprise customers.
What you’ll do
- Regulatory Compliance & Privacy
- Design, implement, and maintain a comprehensive HIPAA compliance programme covering the Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule.
- Serve as the designated Privacy Officer and/or Security Officer for the organisation.
- Develop and enforce Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all vendors and partners handling PHI.
- Conduct periodic Security Risk Assessments (SRA) and maintain a risk register with clear remediation timelines.
- Monitor evolving U.S. healthcare regulations (HITECH, state privacy laws, CMS interoperability rules, 21st Century Cures Act) and update policies accordingly.
- Lead external audit readiness for SOC 2 Type II, HITRUST CSF, and customer-required security assessments.
- Security Architecture & Engineering
- Define and enforce 100ms’s security architecture across cloud infrastructure (AWS / GCP / Azure), application layer, AI agent pipelines, and U.S.-based data storage.
- Implement IAM policies, encryption standards (at rest and in transit), and network segmentation controls.
- Own vulnerability management: scanning, triage, SLA-driven patching, and penetration testing schedules.
- Establish and manage a Security Incident Response Plan (SIRP), including tabletop exercises and on-call rotation.
- Evaluate and deploy security tooling (SIEM, EDR, DLP, CSPM) appropriate for a startup—balancing rigour with speed.
- Ensure security of LLM-based agent workflows, including prompt injection defences, data leakage prevention, and PHI handling in AI pipelines.
- Governance, Risk & Trust
- Build 100ms’s security documentation library: policies, standards, procedures, and evidence repositories using GRC frameworks like (Sprinto, Vanta, Drata, Secureframe).
- Set up and manage continuous compliance monitoring and automated evidence collection via Sprinto for SOC 2 and HIPAA audit readiness.
- Own the vendor risk management programme, including third-party security reviews and ongoing monitoring.
- Respond to customer security questionnaires, RFPs, and due-diligence requests alongside Sales and Customer Success.
- Drive security awareness training across the organisation, including onboarding programmes and phishing simulations.
- Track security KPIs and present a quarterly compliance posture report to the leadership team.
- Cross-Functional Partnership
- Embed secure-by-design principles into the SDLC: threat modelling, secure code reviews, and dependency scanning.
- Collaborate with Engineering on DevSecOps practices—CI/CD pipeline security, secrets management, and infrastructure-as-code hardening.
- Partner with Legal on data processing agreements, breach notification protocols, and regulatory filings.
- Support customer-facing teams in addressing compliance concerns and positioning security as a sales differentiator with U.S. healthcare buyers.

- Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, HCISPP, CCSP, or HITRUST CCSFP.
- Experience at an early-stage or high-growth startup, building compliance programmes from zero to one.
- Familiarity with AI/LLM security considerations—prompt injection, data leakage, model safety, and PHI handling in agentic workflows.
- Familiarity with FDA software regulations (SaMD) or CMS interoperability standards (FHIR, HL7).Background in penetration testing, application security, or security engineering.
- Experience with state-specific U.S. health data privacy laws (e.g., CMIA, SHIELD Act, Washington My Health My Data Act).Experience managing Sprinto end-to-end for SOC 2 / HIPAA audit readiness and evidence automation.
