The Opportunity: 

When our country’s cybersecurity is on the line, simply reacting is not enough—we need a plan. And when that plan needs to protect information technology infrastructure, we need strategic policy development. That’s why we need you, a security and policy specialist with the skills to analyze the policies that determine our cyber resilience.

You’ll audit how policies stack up to Enterprise Mission Assurance Support Service (eMASS) controls and assessment procedures, STIG security vulnerabilities, and Risk Management Framework and NIST policies. You’ll work with the client to help them document secure operations as they navigate an evolving IT environment. 

Work with us as we protect the client’s IT infrastructure through strategic cyber policy development.
