 * Cloud Architecture & Enclave Protection: Oversee the security architecture and boundary controls for a focused cloud environment centered on Microsoft 365 GCC-High, Azure Government, and AWS DevOps pipelines, ensuring strict protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and export-controlled data.
 * Federal Compliance & Audit Ownership: Own enterprise compliance for NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, DFARS 252.204-7012, and CMMC Level 2, leading System Security Plan (SSP) maintenance, SPRS scoring, and C3PAO/federal audit readiness.
 * Technology Controls Administration: Collaborate with Legal, the Facility Security Officer (FSO), and leadership to administer the Technology Control Plan (TCP) and ensure systems adhere to DCSA security requirements and governance obligations.
 * Business Development & Mission Enablement: Partner with capture and client delivery teams to architect compliant, secure solutions for client enclaves and support proposal responses.
 * AI Security Governance: Provide security and compliance oversight for vetting, deploying, and governing AI tools, LLMs, and emerging technologies within CUI-constrained environments.
