  • Keep evidence current before each boundary change and consolidate infrastructure evidence quarterly ahead of the companion contractor’s BOE delivery
  • Review security impacts of landing-zone, identity and access, network, and infrastructure-as-code changes; coordinate security requirements at cross-domain interfaces
  • Implement and document security controls aligned with NIST 800-53 and FedRAMP compliance requirements, supporting continuous authorization activities across cloud environmentsREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Ability to quickly secure Secret security clearance
