As a Security Architect within a federally focused environment, you will serve as a strategic partner to solution owners, OCTO (AIA/Solution Architects), and Business Development teams. Your primary mission is to translate complex security requirements, standards, and controls into clear, actionable guidance for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You will act as a technical ISO stakeholder in Enterprise Risk and Assurance activities, ensuring that proposed designs align with enterprise security standards, internal controls, and applicable regulatory requirements.
In this role, you will define security requirements for information technologies and solutions, conducting system security and vulnerability analyses to identify integration points and issues. You will collaborate with information security and IT teams to ensure new or existing technologies are assimilated correctly, while fostering strategic relationships with internal and external business partners. Your work involves documenting security architecture decisions, identifying recurring architectural risk patterns, and escalating systemic issues to ISO leadership for remediation planning.
