Quick answer: A 0-2 year onsite support job in Chennai where the one named skill is Security Risk and Audit Operations, so expect audit evidence, access reviews and alert triage more than deep work on a single product. Freshers are in scope, but the 15 years of full-time education bar is a real filter.

HireSetu's note

Security work wearing a support title

Application support listings usually name a product, a database or a language. This one names Security Risk and Audit Operations as the must-have and leaves everything else optional. So the daily work sits close to security tooling, access reviews, audit evidence and the monitoring alerts that feed them, with the "software detective" framing describing the triage around it.

If your background is a single ERP module or a web stack, say what you have done with a risk register, a control check or an auditor's evidence request. Two years near SOC or GRC work reads stronger here than four years of feature development.

Freshers fit, with one filter

0-2 years puts 2024 and 2025 graduates in scope, and the listing asks for 15 years of full-time education, meaning the standard 10+2+3 route. Distance, part-time or diploma-only paths may not clear that check, so settle it before you spend a week on the application.

The role is onsite at the Chennai office. Ask about the shift on the first call. Support teams in Indian delivery centres run rotations to cover clients in other time zones, and that decides how your week actually looks.

The vocabulary to get comfortable with

Get fluent in the words that come up in audit and risk work: control testing, evidence, findings, remediation, closure. Reading a monitoring dashboard and a log file to find the first error, not the loudest one, is the practical half of the job.

Support runs on tickets, so know the path an issue takes from alert to closure: what you checked, what you changed, what you passed to the next person. Bring one example of a problem you chased across two systems until you found the cause, even from an internship or a college project.
