Senior Cybersecurity & Compliance Consultant
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the job posting.

That's about the role.
Job Duties: list of duties.
Supervisory Responsibilities: N/A (skip).
Education Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: includes high school degree or GED required, Bachelor's degree preferred, etc.
Experience: required and preferred.
License(s)/Certification(s): certifications preferred.

Pay: "Individual salaries that are offered to a candidate are determined after consideration of numerous factors including but not limited to the candidate’s qualifications, experience, skills, and geography. National Range: $92,000 - $97,000 Maryland Range: $92,000 - $97,000 NYC/Long Island/Westchester Range: $92,000 - $97,000"
Thus we have Pay info.
Benefits: There's a section "About Us" describing BDO, then "Learn more about our benefits: BDO Total Rewards...". There's mention of ESOP, retirement plan, etc. So we have benefits content.
Schedule: Travel up to 50% of the time or as necessary. That's schedule/travel.
Thus we can include sections: About the role (Job Summary), Responsibilities (Job Duties), Requirements (Education Qualifications, Experience, Licenses/Certifications maybe combine), Skills (Software, Language, Other Knowledge, Skills & Abilities), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each has substantive content.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We must not repeat job title. So no heading for Senior Cyber Security and Compliance Consultant.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.
We must remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes "Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability/vets Click here to find out more !" and "All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or protected veteran status." and "BDO USA, P.A. is an EO employer M/F/Veteran/Disability". Those are EEO boilerplate; we should remove them.
Also "Learn more about our benefits: BDO Total Rewards encompass more than traditional benefits. Click here to find out more ! Benefits may be subject to eligibility requirements." That's benefits info but includes a link; we can keep the substantive description: "BDO Total Rewards encompass more than traditional benefits." Also mention ESOP etc. We'll keep that.
We need to preserve all substantive information: So we need to include the description of benefits: ESOP, retirement plan, etc. The "About Us" section also includes purpose, values, etc. That might be considered boilerplate? It's about the company; maybe we can include as part of About the role? But the instruction says to include sections only when posting has real specific content. The "About Us" is generic but still substantive about the company. However we might treat it as part of Benefits? Not exactly. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." We could combine About Us into Benefits or maybe omit if it's too generic. But we have Benefits section already with ESOP etc. The About Us includes purpose, values, etc. Might be considered boilerplate but it's still specific to BDO. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. About Us is not those. Could keep as a separate section? But we only have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "About Us". So we could incorporate the About Us content into Benefits or maybe into About the role? The About the role already has job summary. Could add a paragraph about BDO's purpose etc. But that might be straying. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the About Us content somewhere. Since we don't have a heading for About Us, we could put it under Benefits (as part of benefits description) or maybe under a generic
after the sections? But we must output only HTML fragment; we can include multiple sections; we could add an extra
for "About BDO" but not in allowed list? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples, not exclusive? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests we should use those headings for sections. It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we should stick to those. So we need to fit About Us content into one of those sections. Probably Benefits is appropriate because it talks about total rewards, ESOP, retirement plan. The About Us also includes purpose, values, etc. Could be considered part of Benefits? Not exactly but we can include a paragraph about BDO's purpose and values under Benefits as additional info. Or we could put it under About the role as a description of the company context. But About the role already has job summary; adding company description may be okay.
Better: Keep About the role as job summary only; Benefits section can include both benefits and company purpose/values as part of "Total Rewards". We'll incorporate the About Us sentences into Benefits section.
Now we need to list duties as - . The duties list includes many sentences separated by commas and line breaks. We'll extract each duty as a bullet.
Duties:
- Participates in engagements for PCI, data security, compliance and governance frameworks, security vendor assessments and IT controls assessments
- Conducts and assesses compliance and governance requirements based on standard programs to assist the organization in meeting business needs
- Develops assessment and “gap” reports, including observations and possible solutions
- Gains an understanding of the client’s business environment and risk management frameworks and approaches
- Participates in remediation planning and outlining client requirements applicable to frameworks such as PCI, ISO, NIST, and CIS, for example
- Attends client meetings and documents technical client interviews, internal meetings and memorializes reports and memorandum contents
- Budgets time and assists with multiple project requests simultaneously, as well as monitors project tasks and risks
- Travels up to 50% of the time or as necessary
- Other duties as required
We should keep "Other duties as required" as a bullet? It's substantive but generic; we can keep.
Now Requirements/Education: We have Education Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: includes high school degree or GED required; Bachelor’s degree with a focus in Computer Science, Information Security, Accounting, or Finance, preferred.
Experience: Two (2) or more years of experience in IT controls, Cyber, PCI, or security compliance, required; Two (2) or more years of prior experience in management consulting, technology advisory, or technology project management, preferred; Two (2) or more years of experience supporting Security projects such as NIST, HIPAA, CIS, ISO, or PCI-DSS projects, preferred; Prior experience working within a national consulting organization or professional services, preferred.
License(s)/Certification(s): Any security certifications such as CISA, CISM, CISSP, or other certifications, preferred; AWS Cloud Practitioner or Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate, preferred.
We could combine these into Requirements section (education, experience, certifications). Or split into Requirements and Qualifications. The instruction lists both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide. Since we have both education and experience and certifications, we could put them under Requirements. Qualifications could be used for skills? But we also have Skills section for software, language, other knowledge. So we can use Requirements for education, experience, certifications. Qualifications maybe for something else? But we could skip Qualifications if no distinct content. However we have "Education Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:" heading in the original; but we already used Education under Requirements. Qualifications could be used for "Other Knowledge, Skills & Abilities"? But that is more like skills. We'll follow: Requirements (education, experience, certifications). Skills (software, language, other knowledge, skills & abilities). Qualifications maybe we can omit if no distinct content. But we need to avoid empty headings. So we will not include Qualifications heading if we don't have specific content for it. We'll include Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule, About the role, Responsibilities.
Now Skills: includes Software Proficient in the use of Windows and Microsoft Office Suite, specifically Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, required; Experience with AWS, Google Virtual Private Cloud, Microsoft cloud services, OneDrive, SharePoint and Visio, a plus; Language(s) Multilingual capabilities (read, speak and/or write), a plus; Other Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: Ability to maintain a high level of confidentiality and professionalism; Ability to communicate with professionals at all organizational levels; Capacity to build and maintain strong relationships with BDO and client personnel; Solid organizational and excellent verbal and written communication skills; Ability to successfully multi-task while working independently or within a group environment; Applied knowledge of technologies for data mapping, risk assessments, third party risk management, compliance tracking, security controls management, a plus.
We'll list these as bullet list under Skills.
Now Benefits: includes ESOP, retirement plan, total rewards, etc. Also mention "Learn more about our benefits: BDO Total Rewards encompass more than traditional benefits." We'll include description: BDO provides assurance, tax, and advisory services; ESOP is a qualified retirement plan offering participants a stake in the firm’s success through beneficial ownership and a unique opportunity to enhance their financial well-being; As a qualified retirement plan, the ESOP is a meaningful addition to our comprehensive compensation and Total Rewards benefits offerings; It also reinforces an ownership mindset that strengthens our connection to one another, our clients, and the future we’re building together. Also mention "Learn more about our benefits: BDO Total Rewards encompass more than traditional benefits." We'll keep that sentence.
We should also include the "About Us" purpose and values maybe as part of Benefits? Could add a paragraph: "At BDO, how we show up matters. We build strong relationships by supporting one another, our clients, and our communities with care, curiosity, and a commitment to helping one another grow and succeed. Here, you’ll find meaningful work, leaders invested in your success, and opportunities to build a career around what matters most to you. Our purpose is to be the people our clients count on to grow with confidence and achieve what matters most. Our values guide how we bring that purpose to life each day.
