  • Document and obtain a general understanding of the architecture being developed or that was developed for each project in order to write the Systems Security Plans (SSP)/CONOPS in the Greenlight application.
  • Gather the information by working with various team members in order to write various additional A&A related documents such as Contingency Plan (CP), General User Guide (GUG), Privileged User Guide (PUG), Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's), etc.
  • Support Accreditation and Authorization (A&A) reviews by ISSO/M, as well as the Security Controls Assessor (SCA)
