  • Guide program teams to produce necessary artifacts for compliance with DoD security regulations.

  • Up to date current cybersecurity certification such as CISSP, CISM, or similar.
  • In-depth knowledge of DoD cybersecurity policies, frameworks, and compliance standards including NIST 800-53, RMF, FISMA, ICD 503, and JSIG.
  • In-depth experience building and maintaining an Authorization to Operate (ATO), especially for software product offerings.
