Ensure comprehensive security control assessments are planned, executed, and documented to validate the effectiveness of implemented safeguards.
Prepare risk management documentation for system authorization and executive decision-making.
Direct ongoing monitoring and continuous assessment activities, collecting metrics to adjust security strategies and ensure sustained compliance.
Serve as a principal technical advisor on cybersecurity, bringing subject-matter expertise to risk analysis, incident response, system remediation, and audit support efforts.
Foster a culture of security awareness, providing technical guidance and training to both team members and stakeholders.
Track, report, and communicate status, risks, and improvement opportunities related to security engineering activities to leadership and stakeholders.
Maintain up-to-date knowledge of RMF, NIST guidance, and industry best practices in support of continuous process improvement.
