What is a remote security controls assessor?

Remote Security Controls Assessors are professionals who evaluate and verify the effectiveness of an organization's security measures, policies, and procedures without being physically present on-site. They use a variety of tools and methods to assess compliance with security standards, identify vulnerabilities, and recommend improvements. Working remotely, these assessors often conduct interviews, review documentation, and perform technical tests to ensure that the organization's information systems are secure and meet regulatory requirements.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a remote security controls assessor?

To thrive as a Remote Security Controls Assessor, you need a solid understanding of information security frameworks, risk management practices, and compliance standards, often supported by a degree in cybersecurity or related certifications like CISSP, CISA, or Security+. Familiarity with security assessment tools, vulnerability scanners, and compliance management platforms is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective written and verbal communication skills help you excel when evaluating controls and reporting findings remotely. These skills are essential to ensure accurate risk identification and maintain regulatory compliance while collaborating efficiently from a distance.

What challenges might I face as a remote security controls assessor, and how can I overcome them?

As a Remote Security Controls Assessor, one common challenge is effectively evaluating technical and administrative controls without being physically present at client sites. This often requires strong communication skills to coordinate with on-site staff, request and interpret evidence remotely, and clarify any ambiguities. Leveraging secure collaboration tools, maintaining clear documentation, and setting regular check-ins with clients can help address these challenges. Additionally, staying up to date with remote assessment methodologies and compliance frameworks will ensure thorough and accurate evaluations.

About the role

We’re hiring a Junior Security Control Assessor to support independent security control assessments across the system authorization lifecycle. You’ll work under a senior assessor and help evaluate security control implementation, validate evidence, and document results in alignment with NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) and NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, using JCAM practices.

  • Support independent Security Control Assessments (SCAs) across the authorization lifecycle
  • Review and validate security authorization documentation (SSP, SAP, SAR, POA&M, contingency plans, and supporting artifacts)
  • Assess security control implementation through documentation review, interviews, and technical validation
  • Help evaluate cloud security packages and inherited controls (as applicable)
  • Document findings, recommendations, and remediation activities clearly and professionally
  • Assist with evidence validation and remediation tracking
  • Partner with system owners and ISSOs while maintaining assessor independence

Required qualifications

  • Education: Bachelor’s in Cybersecurity, IT, Computer Science, Information Systems (or similar)
    • OR 4 additional years of relevant experience in lieu of a degree
  • Experience: 3–5 years supporting cybersecurity, information assurance, RMF, security assessments, compliance, or IT operations
  • Working knowledge of:
    • NIST RMF (800-37) and NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5
    • JCAM methodology
  • Experience reviewing security documentation and assessment evidence/artifacts
  • Strong analytical skills and technical writing ability

Preferred (nice to have)

  • Experience with eMASS or similar GRC platforms
  • Familiarity with FedRAMP, cloud security concepts, C-SCRM, and related federal security frameworks
  • Experience supporting independent audits/assessments (e.g., external review organizations)

Tools/tech exposure (helpful)

  • JCAM
  • Tenable
  • CrowdStrike
  • Splunk / Splunk Enterprise
  • AWS
  • Python (plus)

Certifications (preferred, not all required)

  • ISC2 CC or CGRC
  • CompTIA Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, CASP+
  • CEH
  • Microsoft SC-900
