  • Review scan results, STIG findings, and patching activities to ensure accurate, actionable data and effective hardening of operating systems, network devices, and applications.
  • Evaluate system designs, network architectures, firewall rules, and PPSM submissions to ensure security principles are integrated from the outset and architecture risks are addressed.
  • Lead preparation and execution of security control audits and FedRAMP 3PAO assessments, reviewing artifacts, logs, and configurations to validate evidence of compliance and a strong security posture.
  • Provide security control assessment and audit oversight, including reviewing and validating implementation work performed by engineers and system administrators.
  • Manage a robust continuous monitoring and GRC program, aggregating and analyzing security data to identify trends, anomalies, and potential incidents and providing actionable risk insights to leadership.
  • Support risk assessments and incident response, recommending mitigating controls and assisting the ISSM and incident response team with artifacts and deep system/security expertise.
