Security Manager Issm Jobs (NOW HIRING)

• Act as the primary interface with Government Authorizing Officials (AOs) and Security Control Assessors (SCAs) to present risk assessments, initiate ATO packages, manage Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms), and secure timely renewals.
• Maintain rigorous oversight of vulnerability management, incident reporting, access control governance, and configuration management functions across assigned enclaves.
• Provide oversight and guidance to subordinate cybersecurity personnel (ISSOs) to ensure security control implementation and mitigation efforts align with established baselines and mission requirements.
• Provide contingency continuity support for tactical enclave cybersecurity (ISSO) activities during periods of workforce shortfalls or as critical mission needs dictate.
• Report conditions that materially affect system authorization status or cybersecurity posture directly to the Government, translating technical risk into actionable mission risk.
• Initiate exceptions, deviations, or waivers to cybersecurity requirements when operational impacts dictate, ensuring complete documentation and coordination with the AO.
• Ensure all assigned personnel and systems remain compliant with applicable DoW/DoD 8140 cybersecurity workforce requirements.
• Perform all other position related duties, as assigned, or requested.
