  • Review and validate implementation of security controls, assess control effectiveness, and coordinate corrective actions with engineering and operations teams to maintain authorization status.
  • Prepare, organize, and submit authorization and assessment artifacts in eMASS in support of A&A events, continuous assessment, and ongoing maintenance of authorization.
  • Provide risk, compliance, and authorization status reporting to the ISSM, including visibility into non-compliant controls, remediation progress, and residual risk.
  • Coordinate security compliance reviews against updated STIGs, NIST publications, and related cybersecurity guidance to support continuous monitoring and ARNG compliance objectives.
  • Support vulnerability analysis activities associated with IAVAs, penetration testing, and static code analysis, and ensure resulting findings are documented and tracked through remediation.
  • Work across ENOCS Task 3 cybersecurity operations functions to align RMF documentation and authorization evidence with ongoing DCO-IDM, monitoring, and cybersecurity engineering efforts.
  • Interface with ARNG stakeholders and external mission partners, including coordination aligned with the NETCOM Global Cyber Center and DISA DCDC, to support secure operation of classified and unclassified environments.
