• Managing the full lifecycle of security certificates for web servers and secure communication channels.

• Tracking, prioritizing, and escalating security vulnerabilities and non-compliant configurations to ensure timely remediation.

• Developing and maintaining compliance tracking products such as status reports, briefings, and leadership updates to communicate compliance posture and progress.

• Maintaining system documentation and preparing clear process guides for all implemented security configurations and remediation steps.

• Using scripting languages (e.g., PowerShell) to automate compliance checks, configuration changes, and reporting.

Additional Responsibilities:

• Participate in meetings and working groups with Operations and Cybersecurity personnel (government and contractor) to track and ensure cybersecurity compliance.

• Support architecture and engineering reviews by providing hands-on compliance-focused implementation feedback on new capabilities, technologies, and infrastructure changes.

• Perform other duties as assigned.
