Responsibilities

The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) provides world class risk assessment services to protect the sponsor systems from cyber intrusion and misuse. The sponsor seeks a Project Manager for Cyber Security to provide expertise and suggestions for process improvement to streamline complex processes that affect multiple groups.

In addition, the incumbent will be performing independent technical reviews that reviews the work of project teams, Information System Security Engineers, Information System Security Managers (ISSMs), and assessor(s) and Quality Assurance personnel. These Technical Reviews are a critical component of the accreditation process for systems.

The Project Manager for Cyber Security Assessments will provide:

  • Programmatic Support to the Cyber Assessments Front Office
  • Assisting sponsor leadership in implementing and managing the sponsor Project Management Framework (PMF).
  • Providing assistance to sponsor leadership in tracking project status, timelines, and identifying key deliverables and the appropriate stakeholders.
  • Providing guidance and assurance towards consistent implementation of PMF fundamentals towards sponsor offices subcomponents
  • Analyzing and suggesting ways to continue to provide quality assessments given a changing technical landscape and availability of tools in the Cloud and other virtual-based computing environments.
  • Providing ad hoc meeting facilitation and technical documentation/recording of actions.
  • Assisting with office and organization-wide communications efforts, as needed.

The time spent performing programmatic support is estimated to be 60-65% and will require the contractor to work closely with senior leadership towards implementation. This task will be expected to coordinate closely with sponsor officer senior leadership and subcomponent leadership to ensure quality and consistency in PMF implementation and support.

  • Independent Technical Reviews of information system submissions in the sponsor's system of record, to include:
    • Recording recommended courses of action for senior leadership on each failed control. Each system coming through the system of record for authorization may have tens of failed controls which need adjudication.
    • Reviewing in the system of record control submissions from project teams, their Information System Security Manager (ISSM), and the assessor(s)/quality assurance (QA) to recommend an appropriate course of action (e.g. Risk Acceptance (RA) or Plan of Actions and Milestones (POA&M))
    • Examining the body of evidence (BOE) provided by the system owner, the specific recommendation from the ISSEM and the Assessor(s) views to form an independent opinion on whether or not each failed control should proceed to the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) queue in the system of record with a recommendation for RA or POA&M.

The time spent performing technical reviews is estimated to be 30-35% and will require the contractor to view themselves as an independent expert recommending risk mitigation plans to senior leadership. This position is expected to require minimal external coordination and more time in the system of record recording independent judgement.
