Position Overview
Brahma AI is recruiting a highly technical, forward-thinking Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to lead our global security, trust, and identity governance initiatives. Brahma AI operates enterprise Media Asset Management (MAM) and AI-driven Digital Asset Management at global scale, managing over 100 million assets and 100 PB archives for some of the world’s largest organisations. This is where our customers’ most valuable content lives, and where security is paramount. Building on that foundation, our technology delivers high-fidelity, Hollywood-grade photorealistic digital humans (ATMAN) and multi-language voice synthesis (VAANI) for leading enterprises in healthcare, retail, sports, and entertainment, adding further complexity around sensitive source assets and identity governance.
This executive position works closely with the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and the wider executive leadership team. Overseeing our global security posture across engineering, product, and multi-cloud environments, the CISO will build automated, developer-enabling security architectures in place of traditional gate-heavy enterprise controls. In this role, you will define our MLSecOps strategy, govern zero-trust identity frameworks, guide global privacy compliance (including HIPAA, GDPR, and India’s DPDP Act), and establish the enterprise trust certifications that power our commercial growth.
This is a hands-on security leadership role first. Brahma AI operates some of the most sensitive technology in the industry: highly realistic, photorealistic digital replicas of real people. Protecting our models, our data, our infrastructure, and the likenesses entrusted to us is the job, and you will build and lead the global security organization to execute on it. Trust, governance, and certification programs are how that protection becomes a commercial asset.
Core Strategic Objectives
- Drive Security as a Commercial Enabler: Implement automated compliance and governance pipelines that accelerate product velocity and lower time-to-market for digital human solutions while upholding rigorous security standards.
- Govern MLSecOps Strategy: Architect and oversee the secure machine learning lifecycle from ingestion to serving, defining custom control frameworks for model registries, training data validation, and automated deployment pipelines.
- Protect Digital Identities: Own the security of Brahma AI’s digital human technologies, covering likeness protection, misuse prevention, consent management, and content provenance.
- Build Enterprise Trust: Lead Brahma AI’s trust and compliance posture across ISO/IEC 42001, SOC 2 Type 2, C2PA, and TPN, ensuring alignment with global regulatory frameworks including HIPAA, GDPR, and India’s DPDP Act. Support customer security reviews and investor due diligence.
- Harden Multi-Cloud & Enterprise Environments: Maintain continuous posture monitoring and zero-trust perimeters across our multi-cloud footprint (AWS, GCP, and Azure) and physical facilities.
- Define Identity & Access Architecture: Enforce low-friction Identity and Access Management (IAM), Privileged Access Management (PAM), and automated secrets management across continuous delivery pipelines.

Technical and Operational Responsibilities
1. Generative AI Security, MLSecOps, and Content Protection
- Oversee the design and maturation of the MLSecOps architecture, establishing standards for automated gate controls, model registry signing, versioned data lineage, and pre-deployment adversarial testing.
- Establish defenses against adversarial AI threats including prompt injection, model extraction, data and model poisoning, and misuse of generative APIs, validated through continuous AI red team exercises.
- Drive the integration of content authenticity standards (C2PA) and media protection mechanisms, including forensic watermarking, DRM, and encryption, directly into core media pipelines.
- Lead security and governance of digital human and synthetic media technologies: likeness protection, consent-driven identity registries for ATMAN digital likenesses (in partnership with Product and Legal), and authenticity controls.
- Direct the evaluation and adoption of contemporary, AI-powered security tooling to continuously test, detect, monitor, and recover from software vulnerabilities.
2. Multi-Cloud, Infrastructure, and Application Security
- Establish continuous, automated security posture management across GCP, AWS, and Azure, prioritizing engineering self-remediation.
- Define enterprise access governance, IAM policy, and zero-trust perimeters to prevent unauthorized access and ensure strict multi-tenant isolation.
- Ensure automated, low-latency security scanning (SAST, DAST, container checks) is seamlessly integrated into CI/CD workflows without creating development bottlenecks.
- Provide security policy oversight and governance for physical facilities, on-premise datacenters, and GPU infrastructure to maintain compliance with TPN and ISO standards.
3. AI Governance, Risk Delegation, and Compliance
- Lead the strategy to achieve and maintain primary certifications, specifically ISO/IEC 42001 and SOC 2 Type 2, while maintaining secondary certifications (TPN Gold Shield, ISO 27001).
- In partnership with Legal and Product teams, guide organizational compliance for regulated client verticals, ensuring adherence to HIPAA, GDPR, India’s DPDP Act, and emerging global AI frameworks.
- Operationalize a delegated risk management framework that enables business units to evaluate and accept operational risks within clear, automated governance guardrails.
- Lead security due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships, and support investor and customer due diligence processes.
