• Collaborate closely with Security Engineers, Compliance Advisors, and SOC staff to ensure that infrastructure is aligned with technical controls across FedRAMP, FISMA, and CMMC frameworks.
• Provide infrastructure input and evidence for audits, documentation packages, and continuous monitoring activities.
