• Apply and interpret Commonwealth and agency requirements, including VITA SEC530, NIST guidance, CIS Controls, DoD STIGs, CJIS and VCIN requirements, HIPAA, PCI, FERPA, FTI, privacy, and contractual obligations.
• Partner with system owners and data owners to establish ownership, classify information, document security plans and controls, complete periodic reviews, and maintain evidence needed for authorization, audit, and ongoing compliance.
• Review vendor and third‑party security documentation, including SOC reports, security questionnaires, architecture and data-flow information, contracts, MOUs, MOAs, NDAs, and other interconnection documentation. Identify conditions, gaps, compensating controls, and escalation needs.
• Support interconnection and data-sharing governance by reviewing MOUs and related agreements for security, privacy, least‑privilege, data-handling, access-control, incident-notification, and annual-review requirements.
• Coordinate audit, assessment, and oversight activities; collect and validate evidence; respond to inquiries; document findings; and manage corrective actions through closure with internal audit, VITA, and other authorized reviewers.
• Develop, maintain, and communicate security policies, standards, procedures, guidelines, templates, and governance processes. Recommend practical improvements that strengthen compliance and reduce risk.
• Support the agency security awareness and training program, including targeted compliance training, acknowledgements, tracking, reporting, and education for system owners, technical staff, and other stakeholders.
• Perform governance reviews for emerging technology and artificial intelligence initiatives. Evaluate business purpose, data sensitivity, privacy, security, human oversight, vendor assurances, risks, and required approvals; document outcomes and handoffs.
• Assist with security planning for continuity, incident response, disaster recovery, business continuity, audit logging, configuration and hardening, access reviews, vendor management, and other control areas.
