IT security, handled every day.
A full-time IT security specialist who manages access, keeps patches current, and watches your endpoints and accounts, inside your systems and your hours.
Today’s work
An IT security specialist protects your company’s systems and data day to day: managing who has access, keeping devices patched, and finding weaknesses before attackers do.
Sets up and removes user access, reviews permissions, and keeps admin rights with the people who need them.
Keeps operating systems, software and devices patched on a schedule, and tracks anything that’s overdue.
Manages your antivirus and endpoint tools, checks every device is covered, and follows up on detections.
Runs scans, ranks what they find, and works with your team to fix the most serious issues first.
Reviews reported emails, tunes filtering rules, and helps run security awareness training for your staff.
Keeps security policies, asset lists and access reviews documented, ready for audits and customer questionnaires.
Tools they already know
Tell us your stack and we screen for it.
Before you meet anyone
Every candidate is checked against the work, your tools and your hours. You only interview the people who pass.
We review the security work each candidate has actually done: access management, patching, endpoint protection and vulnerability remediation.
Tell us your stack and we shortlist people who have worked in it, from Microsoft 365 and Azure to Google Workspace and AWS.
Security means explaining risks and fixes to your team, so we screen written and spoken English for the role.
We confirm each candidate can work your business hours, so access requests and security issues are handled while your team is working.
Every hire passes background and medical checks before day one. They’re part of the process, not an extra.
You meet the candidates who pass, ask your own questions, and choose who joins your team.
No placement fee. No separate hiring charges. Everything you need to get a new hire started on your team is inside the fee.
Illustrative example that updates with the calculator. Your fee depends on the role and experience level; the marketplace shows a monthly range for each candidate.

Browse talentHow hiring through Remote Employee works for this role.
They protect your systems and data day to day: managing user access and permissions, keeping devices and software patched, running endpoint protection and vulnerability scans, reviewing suspicious emails, and keeping security policies and audit evidence current.
The ones you already run. Tell us your stack and we shortlist people who have worked in it, typically Microsoft 365 and Defender, Azure or AWS, Google Workspace, Okta, and endpoint tools like CrowdStrike.
You give them their own login with the permissions you choose, as you would for anyone on your team. They work on equipment we provide, and every hire passes background and medical checks before they start.
Yes. Keeping policies, asset lists and access reviews documented is part of the role, so the evidence is ready when an auditor or customer asks for it.
Yes. If you need both, tell us the split between security and helpdesk work and we screen for candidates who have done both.
It depends on the role, experience, and skills you’re looking for.
Once we know who you need, we’ll give you the cost upfront. There’s a one-time setup fee per employee, followed by a monthly fee. Businesses typically save 50–70% compared with hiring a similar role in the US with equivalent education, experience or other qualifications.
Remote Employee® is the legal employer. We employ your team member locally in the Philippines and take care of their payroll, taxes, contracts, and compliance. You just pay a set monthly invoice while we take care of the rest.
