As a Security Architect within a federally focused environment, you will serve as a strategic partner to solution owners, OCTO, 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 identify architectural and solution-level security risks, collaborating with stakeholders to define appropriate mitigating controls. You will document security architecture decisions, identified risks, and accepted exceptions to support audit and assurance activities, while also identifying recurring architectural risk patterns to escalate systemic issues for remediation planning. Your work ensures that information security controls are designed and implemented to meet all regulatory and contractual obligations, fostering strategic relationships across the organization.
