Cloud Security Architecture
•
Serve as the expert authority on cloud security architecture, providing guidance and implementing defense-in-depth strategies for federal workloads across various cloud configurations (FedRAMP, DISA, agency requirements).
•
Develop and maintain cloud security architecture documentation (diagrams, data flows, controls).
•
Evaluate architectural changes for security impact and guide secure DevSecOps practices in federal clouds.
Change Control & SCR Management

Coordinate compliance matters with authorizing officials, acting as the primary security advocate.
Incident Response & Business Continuity
•
Serve as the primary security point-of-contact for incident response, managing resolution from initial detection through root cause analysis and implementing preventative measures.
•
Strategically coordinate and lead incident response, business continuity, and disaster recovery exercises.
Audit & Access Management
•
Manage annual security audit evidence collection and coordination.
•
Rigorously audit account management, enforce least privilege through monthly access reviews, and oversee DISA whitelisting requests.
•
Process system deviation requests, including risk assessments and determination of compensating controls.
•
Education: Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) in a relevant technical field (Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, IT); advanced degree preferred.
•
Certification: Must hold a DoD 8140/8570 IAM Level II Baseline Certification (CGRC, CASP+, CISM, CISSP/Associate, or CCISO).
