• Adaptability and resilience. Ability to adjust to changing regulatory guidance, audit findings, and shifting priorities while maintaining quality and professionalism.
• Stakeholder- and trust-focused mindset. Appreciation for how strong compliance practices support customer trust, audit confidence, and long-term platform credibility.

• FedRAMP Moderate compliance and authorization tooling, including System Security Plans (SSPs), control narratives, continuous monitoring (ConMon) deliverables, POA&Ms, SARs, and other annual assessment artifacts. Experience working within FedRAMP repositories and maintaining audit-ready system-of-record documentation.
• NIST-based security frameworks, particularly NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, with the ability to map controls to technical and procedural implementations, evaluate control inheritance, and support baseline tailoring across regulated environments.
• Experience supporting regulated compliance programs, including FedRAMP Moderate, CJIS, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR, with an emphasis on overlap analysis, evidence reuse, and consistency across frameworks.
• AWS cloud environments (working knowledge), including IAM, CloudTrail, AWS Config, Security Hub, GuardDuty, and VPC networking concepts, sufficient to assess compliance impact, authorization boundary changes, and shared responsibility considerations (not hands-on infrastructure ownership).
• Identity and access management concepts, including familiarity with NIST SP 800-63, 800-63A, 800-63B, and 800-63C; identity proofing, authentication assurance levels (IAL/AAL/FAL); federated identity models (SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0); and privileged access management fundamentals.
• Security monitoring and audit evidence sources, including SIEM and centralized logging platforms (e.g., Sumo Logic or equivalent), with experience evaluating alerting, log retention, and evidence quality for continuous monitoring and audit support.
• Vulnerability management workflows, including familiarity with scanning tools (e.g., Nessus, AquaSec, Invicti, Qualys, or equivalent), risk rating methodologies, remediation tracking, and POA&M lifecycle management in compliance-driven environments.
• Change management and security impact analysis processes, including Security Impact Analyses (SIAs), Significant Change Requests (SCRs/SCNs), authorization boundary documentation, and coordination of approval workflows with internal and external stakeholders.
• Secure development lifecycle (SDLC) and configuration management concepts, aligned with NIST SA, CM, and SI control families, with sufficient understanding to evaluate engineering practices, CI/CD security signals, and control effectiveness without acting as a primary implementer.
