## Description

With minimal supervision, the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) maintains day-to-day security posture and continuous monitoring of classified information systems. The ISSO conducts reviews and technical inspections to identify and mitigate potential security weaknesses and ensure that all security features applied to a system are implemented and functional. In this role, you will report to the Information System Security Manager (ISSM) while preparing and maintaining security Assessment and Authorization (A&A) documentation, performing audits, participating in incident response activities, and tracking implementation guidance from multiple sources such as Cyberspace Tasking Orders (CTO). This role also includes interfacing with client and/or Government personnel and maintaining a thorough understanding of NIST 800-53 controls. As the ISSO, you will also be expected to collaborate with team members to support Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) Technical Reviews
and Cyber Operational Readiness Assessments (CORA). This role is specifically designed to fast-track a dedicated ISSO to an ISSM role by providing the first-hand experience required to manage DoD accredited classified information systems throughout the full Risk Management Framework (RMF) lifecycle.
