Job description

Risk Management Framework RMF & Common Control Provider SME

The Opportunity: Cyber threats are everywhere, and the constantly evolving nature of these threats can make understanding them seem overwhelming to government agencies. In all of this "cyber noise," how can these organizations understand their risks and how to mitigate them? The answer is you-an information security risk specialist who will break down complex threats into manageable plans of action. As an information security risk specialist on our team, you will operate as the primary authoritative liaison for inheritable enterprise security controls. You will ensure that foundational computing environments, cloud environments, and enterprise enclaves correctly author, validate, and publish the common controls inherited by downstream tenant mission systems. You'll author enterprise-level common controls, manage inheritance and liaise with downstream stakeholders, validate boundaries, coordinate assessments, and manage Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&M) and continuous authorization. Work with us as we protect an essential federal agency's mission. Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

• 5+ years of experience implementing NIST SP 800-37 and NIST SP 800-53 security controls within a federal or DoD agency infrastructure context
• Experience navigating and documenting risk packages inside the Enterprise Mission Assurance Support Service (eMASS) registry
• Experience auditing and defining where the physical and logical security boundaries of the hosting infrastructure end and where the tenant's responsibility begins
• Experience creating, executing, and monitoring complex POA&M specifically targeting enterprise-wide vulnerabilities affecting multiple systems
• Ability to provide direct technical guidance to tenant System Owners (SOs) and Information System Security Officers (ISSOs) to map out how they safely inherit physical, operational, and technical controls
• Ability to partner with independent Security Control Assessors (SCAs) to schedule, facilitate, and clear multi-tiered technical audits of shared platforms
• Ability to drive the integration of automated monitoring capabilities to progress infrastructure from traditional static windows to a Continuous Authorization to Operate (cATO) state
• Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam
• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mathematics, or Computer Science
• DoD 8140 or 8570 IAM Level II compliant certification, such as Security+ CE

Nice If You Have:

• Experience supporting the Intelligence Community TS/SCI clearance with a Polygraph
• DoD 8140 or 8570 IAM Level III compliant certification, such as CISSP

Clearance

Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information; TS/SCI clearance with polygraph is required.
