Sr Analyst - ISO Security Governance

About the Role

This position serves as a strategic partner in navigating the complex landscape of Federal and Department of Defense (DoD) security governance. You will act as a bridge between technical security requirements and business objectives, ensuring that organizational policies align with rigorous federal mandates. The role is designed for a seasoned professional who can translate complex NIST verbiage into understandable business terms while maintaining the highest standards of Information Assurance.

In this capacity, you will not only assess risk but also shape the security posture of the organization. You will collaborate closely with Enterprise and Project Information System Security Officers (ISSO), Business Development teams, and Capture teams to ensure seamless governance alignment for both existing and prospective federal contracts. Your work will directly influence how the company supports customers in developing doctrine, policies, and security frameworks that meet the demands of the modern federal landscape.

The Day-to-Day

Your day will involve a dynamic mix of high-level strategy and hands-on governance management. You will conduct complex risk analyses to establish and satisfy Information Assurance requirements, keeping a pulse on emerging security technologies to recommend necessary enhancements. A significant portion of your time will be dedicated to collaborating with shared services and project teams to apply security policies effectively across the enterprise.

You will be responsible for the ongoing management of governance activities from a federal perspective. This includes overseeing vendor assessments, managing enterprise risk registers, and driving security awareness and training initiatives. As a key advisor to information system owners, you will guide them through the intricacies of Federal and DoD customer requirements, ensuring that security policies are not just compliant, but also practical and effective. You will work in a fast-paced environment, executing complex tasks simultaneously while maintaining strong interpersonal relationships across a broad range of staff.
