• Work with ISSOs/ISSMs and technical teams to interpret findings, recommend remediation actions, and ensure timely closure of vulnerabilities.
• Analyze system changes, configuration updates, and vulnerability outputs to determine authorization impacts and risk-level adjustments.
• Support ATO maintenance by tracking assessments, evidence, and documentation needed for successful RMF lifecycle execution.
• Ability to prepare and deliver clear, risk focused briefings to system owners and stakeholders regarding audit findings and compliance status.
