What are the responsibilities and job description for the Information System Security Officer position at ISPA Technology?
Location: Panama City Beach, FL
Clearance: Active Secret clearance required. Top Secret preferred.
Program Support: TITAN and Edge Theater Architecture
Build trust into the mission before the first packet moves.
Some cybersecurity roles are all about checking boxes. This one is different.
ISPA Technology is looking for an Information System Security Officer to support TITAN and Edge Theater Architecture efforts in Panama City Beach, Florida. These programs are focused on tactical edge operations, secure data movement, mission integration, and faster decision-making across complex environments. That means cybersecurity is not something we add at the end. It is part of how the mission works from the start.
We are looking for someone who understands that every authorization package, every control review, every POA&M update, and every security conversation helps determine whether the warfighter can trust the system when it matters most.
What You Will Do
As an ISSO, you will help protect, document, assess, and improve the cybersecurity posture of mission systems supporting tactical and theater edge capabilities.
You will:
You notice the small gap before it becomes the big problem. You are comfortable with policy, but you are not buried in it. You know how to work with engineers, operators, and Government cyber stakeholders without turning every conversation into a compliance lecture.
Required qualifications:
At ISPA, your work will not disappear into a spreadsheet. You will help secure systems tied to real missions, real operators, and real operational consequences. If you are the kind of cyber professional who wants to make systems both compliant and usable, both secure and mission-capable, this is where your judgment matters.
