  • Coordinating the process of certifying and accrediting systems, ensuring they meet all security requirements before deployment.
  • Monitoring system activity to detect unauthorized access, malware, and other potential security threats, and implementing ongoing improvements to security controls.
  • Working closely with other teams (IT, legal, compliance, etc.) to integrate security into system development and maintenance processes and ensuring security measures align with business objectives.
  • Provide coaching and mentoring to IA personnel and conduct performance assessments
  • Validate and approve time charging for assigned personnel

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor's degree in a related discipline and 12+ years of prior relevant experience; additional related experience may be considered in lieu of degree.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
