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 foster strategic relationships with internal and external business partners to ensure technology solutions align with security architecture and business strategy. A key part of your day involves documenting 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.
