IT Governance Analyst

About Fusang Fusang is Asia’s first fully-regulated digital securities exchange, pioneering the convergence of traditional finance and blockchain technology. Licensed by the Labuan Financial Services Authority, we created the world’s first institutional tokenised sukuk—recognised with the IFN Most Innovative Deal 2023 award.

With over USD 410 million in tokenised instruments issued, we’re proving that regulated digital securities are the future of capital markets. Our mission is to build the digital superhighway for traditional finance, making investment opportunities more accessible globally. Backed by 40 years of wealth management expertise through our relationship with Portcullis Group, we combine startup innovation with institutional credibility.

We’re looking for exceptional people who want to shape the future of finance. Role Overview: As a licensed digital securities exchange, Fusang operates under the scrutiny of regulators, institutional clients, and external auditors. Our clients run rigorous due diligence processes. Our regulators expect documented, enforceable policies.

Our infrastructure must remain continuously monitored to prevent lapses in certificates, domain registrations, and compliance obligations. We are seeking an IT Governance Analyst to own the operational backbone of our IT governance, compliance, and internal technical audit function. You will maintain the IT policy framework, monitor adherence to processes, respond to regulatory and client security inquiries, and ensure that nothing—a certificate expiry, a policy gap, or an unanswered audit request—falls through the cracks.

While this is not a cybersecurity engineering role, it requires strong technical acumen to act as an effective internal technical auditor. Rather than relying on self-reported evidence or screenshots provided by engineers, you will use your technical skills to establish the true "source of truth." You will independently log into various environments—including cloud systems, Web Application Firewalls (WAF), cybersecurity tools, corporate IT platforms, and SaaS applications—to directly inspect live configurations, audit permissions, and review logs to ensure absolute compliance and regulatory readiness.

Internal Compliance Auditing: Function as an internal technical auditor to continuously test live system parameters and access controls against regulatory requirements, industry benchmarks, and internal policies.
