Job Title: Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Consultant
Location: Hybrid (onsite work possibly at various locations throughout Maryland)
Rate: Competitive, DOE (W2 or 1099)

Position Overview

We are seeking a Cybersecurity GRC Data & Dashboard Consultant to support follow-on work from approximately 90 completed cybersecurity assessments for a client. The consultant will transform assessment results into structured data, dashboards, and reports that align with NIST CSF, CMMI maturity scoring, and the client’s Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platform (e.g., ServiceNow GRC). This role is ideal for someone with strong cybersecurity domain knowledge, GRC platform experience, and hands-on skills in data analytics and dashboard development. The consultant will help build real-time, interactive views of client-wide and agency-level cybersecurity maturity, risks, issues, and remediation progress to support executive decision-making and continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

• Convert all assessment results into a format compatible with the client’s GRC platform import requirements.
• Prepare and manage key data outputs, including assessment scope, maturity scores (CMMI 0–5 by NIST CSF function/category/control), findings, risks, issues, and recommended remediation actions.
• Provide data files and reports in Client-specified formats and offer reasonable technical assistance to support successful import into the Client’s GRC platform.
• Incorporate agency issue response status data from the Client’s GRC platform into reporting and analysis, as needed.
• Design, develop, and maintain real-time reporting dashboards using cybersecurity assessment data at both client-wide (aggregated) and agency (disaggregated) levels.
• Build dashboards that show:
  • Top control categories by maturity
  • Most common constraints
  • Top recommended areas of improvement
  • CMMI-based maturity levels (0–5) across Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover
  • Top findings, risks, issues, and issue response by agency
• Ensure all dashboards are interactive, allowing users to drill down into underlying assessment data behind summary metrics.
• Implement robust filters in dashboards to support targeted analysis, including filters for: Executive Branch designation, enterprise agency, agency size tier, IT complexity tier, and overall Maturity Group.
• Build agency-level dashboards that:
  • Display average maturity scores by NIST CSF area compared against client-wide averages using side-by-side bar charts
  • Show maturity averages by CSF categories (e.g., Communications, Maintenance, Access Control) compared to client-wide averages
  • Highlight recommended areas of improvement, top 10 findings, and percent completion of identified issues
• Create comparison dashboards that allow users to select one or more agencies and compare ratings and metrics across NIST CSF areas and categories.
• Integrate historical NIST CSF assessment data from prior years into dashboards to show year-over-year trends at both agency and client-wide levels.
• Ensure all required data entry is completed before final project close-out unless an exception is approved by the client.
• Provide reasonable technical assistance to support ongoing imports and integration into the Client’s GRC platform.
• Participate in weekly status meetings with client stakeholders.
• Prepare concise written status updates on a bi-weekly basis and join additional meetings/discussions as needed.
• Maintain and follow quality procedures, methodologies, and standards relevant to this contract, including those associated with Client platforms such as ServiceNow GRC.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Computer Science, Data Analytics, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, GRC, or risk management roles supporting government or large enterprise environments.
• Hands-on experience working with NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) and familiarity with NIST 800-53 and/or NIST 800-171 controls.
• Experience with CMMI-style maturity scoring (0–5) and translating assessment results into structured data and reports.
• Practical experience with Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platforms, preferably ServiceNow GRC or similar Client/enterprise platforms.
• Strong skills in data analysis and dashboard/report development using tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or similar visualization platforms.
• Proven ability to design interactive dashboards with drill-down and filter capabilities for different organizational tiers (e.g., client-wide vs. agency-level).
• Experience integrating and analyzing historical assessment data to present trends and performance changes over time.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to ensure data quality, consistency, and completeness prior to project close-out.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience preparing status reports and presenting findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Demonstrated commitment to ongoing training and staying current with cybersecurity standards, tools, and assessment methodologies.
• Ability to participate in weekly calls and other meetings during standard business hours and collaborate effectively with a remote, multi-organization team.
