This position serves as a strategic bridge between business objectives and enterprise security architecture within a federally focused environment. You will act as a technical ISO stakeholder, providing security architecture and guidance to solution owners, particularly across OCTO (AIA/Solution Architects) and Business Development teams. The role exists to ensure that new and existing technologies are assimilated securely, aligning with regulatory obligations, internal controls, and the organization's broader mission.
In this capacity, you will translate complex security requirements, standards, and controls into clear, actionable guidance for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Your work involves identifying architectural and solution-level security risks, collaborating with partners to define mitigating controls, and documenting decisions to support audit and assurance activities. You will foster strategic relationships with internal and external business partners to ensure technology solutions consistently reflect security architecture principles.
