Nike Information Security Analyst hiring 2026, Bangalore

If you are a recent graduate who wants to start a career in cybersecurity, Nike is hiring an entry level Information Security Analyst in Bangalore. The role sits inside Nike's Governance, Risk and Compliance team, usually shortened to GRC, and Nike says it is designed for someone at the start of their journey who learns the discipline under close guidance from senior members. Recent graduates, interns and rotational program candidates are encouraged to apply.

Below is a plain summary of the work, the eligibility Nike lists, and how to apply on Nike's own careers site.

About the GRC Analyst role at Nike

Governance, Risk and Compliance is the practice of making sure a company follows its own security policies, tracks its risks, and can prove it meets regulations. As an Analyst 1 in this team you support four areas as demand shifts: Governance, Risk, Compliance and Technical Recovery. You execute intake, hygiene and support tasks in whichever area needs help, and you build depth over time with coaching.

Since the role moves across four streams, it helps to know what each one means:

• Governance is about policies, standards and keeping the risk register clean and up to date.
• Risk is about finding issues, tracking their fixes, and following up until they are closed.
• Compliance is about proving controls work, for example collecting evidence for audits such as SOX ITGC.
• Technical Recovery is about planning for outages and disasters, and testing that recovery plans work.

You are not expected to be an expert in any of these on day one. Nike says you learn by doing standard tasks under review from seniors, leads and principals.

Day to day work

The tasks are hands on and well defined, which is what makes this a good first job. Nike lists work such as:

1. Support risk register hygiene in ServiceNow GRC, including data quality, updates and closure evidence.
2. Help with policy, standards, exceptions and attestation cycles, and prepare inputs for governance forums.
3. Support remediation tracking, third party risk intake and audit finding tracking.
4. Support SOX ITGC evidence collection, testing coordination and issue tracking.
5. Help with recovery planning documentation and exercise coordination.
6. Produce clean trackers, evidence packets and status updates with review from seniors.

Eligibility

Nike marks this as entry level and welcomes freshers. The requirements it lists are:

• Experience: 0 to 1 year in cybersecurity, IT audit, compliance, technology risk or GRC. Recent graduates, internships and co-ops are encouraged.
• Education: a bachelor's degree in Information Security, Computer Science, Information Systems, Business or a related field is preferred.
• Awareness of risk register, policy and controls ideas, and a willingness to build depth in ServiceNow GRC.
• Introductory awareness of frameworks such as NIST CSF or ISO 27001.
• Comfort with Excel or Google Sheets and standard documentation and collaboration tools.

Nike also lists certifications such as Security Plus, ITIL Foundation or ISO 27001 Foundation as a plus, not a must. This role suits recent graduates who are organised, careful with records, and genuinely curious about how security and compliance work inside a large company.

How to prepare before you apply

You can build useful awareness in a few evenings, and it maps directly to what Nike lists:

• Read a short explainer of what a risk register is and how issues are tracked and closed.
• Skim the basics of ISO 27001 and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework so the terms are familiar.
• Get comfortable using Excel or Google Sheets to keep clean trackers, since a lot of the work is careful record keeping.
• Watch an introduction to ServiceNow GRC to see how controls, risks and evidence are recorded.

Nike says it wants people who ask clarifying questions and produce clean notes, so being tidy and communicative counts as much as technical knowledge here.
