This includes offering expert advice on the application of these standards to ensure that systems meet compliance requirements. Additionally, it requires conducting training sessions and workshops to educate team members and stakeholders on these regulatory frameworks. Furthermore, the role involves regularly reviewing and updating compliance documentation to reflect the latest standards and regulations.
• Perform self-assessment tests using standard Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) tools to complete full Authorization to Operate (ATO) assessments. This involves utilizing tools such as ACAS, SPLUNK, and other COTS/GOTS solutions to conduct thorough self-assessment tests. Additionally, the role requires analyzing assessment results to identify vulnerabilities and developing remediation plans. Furthermore, it includes documenting assessment findings and preparing reports to support ATO assessments.
• Collaborate with system administrators, database administrators (DBAs), and developers to provide guidance and direction for testing and implementing changes to adjudicate vulnerabilities and implement cybersecurity controls. This involves working closely with system administrators, DBAs, and developers to test and implement necessary changes to address identified vulnerabilities. Additionally, it requires providing clear guidance and direction on cybersecurity best practices and controls. Furthermore, the role involves ensuring that all changes are properly tested and documented to maintain system security.
