Application Security Intern

Who we are

Family law is the core of the practice: divorce, custody, support and adoption. Our estate planning practice drafts wills, trusts and powers of attorney, and handles probate.

The internship

We are preparing for ISO 27001 and SOC 2 audits, and the intern will help collect evidence and update policies. Remote within the US. The team meets in Charlotte once a quarter, travel covered.

What you'll do

Review alerts in our SIEM (Wazuh or Splunk) and escalate anything suspicious. Triage phishing emails reported by staff and update block lists. Help review access lists and remove accounts that are no longer needed. Test our own web apps for OWASP Top 10 issues using Burp Suite, within the agreed scope. Prepare short security awareness posts and quizzes for staff. Collect evidence for ISO 27001 and SOC 2 audit controls. Research new CVEs that affect our stack and summarise them for the team. Check AWS and Google Workspace settings against CIS benchmarks.
