  • Implement robust filters in dashboards to support targeted analysis, including filters for : Executive Branch designation, enterprise agency, agency size tier, IT complexity tier, and overall Maturity Group.
  • Build agency-level dashboards that :
  • Display average maturity scores by NIST CSF area compared against client-wide averages using side-by-side bar charts

  • Show maturity averages by CSF categories (e.g., Communications, Maintenance, Access Control) compared to client-wide averages
  • Highlight recommended areas of improvement, top 10 findings, and percent completion of identified issues
  • Create comparison dashboards that allow users to select one or more agencies and compare ratings and metrics across NIST CSF areas and categories.
  • Integrate historical NIST CSF assessment data from prior years into dashboards to show year-over-year trends at both agency and client-wide levels.
  • Ensure all required data entry is completed before final project close-out unless an exception is approved by the client.
  • Provide reasonable technical assistance to support ongoing imports and integration into the Client's GRC platform.
  • Participate in weekly status meetings with client stakeholders.
  • Prepare concise written status updates on a bi-weekly basis and join additional meetings / discussions as needed.
  • Maintain and follow quality procedures, methodologies, and standards relevant to this contract, including those associated with Client platforms such as ServiceNow GRC.
  • Qualifications

  • Strong skills in data analysis and dashboard / report development using tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or similar visualization platforms.
  • Proven ability to design interactive dashboards with drill-down and filter capabilities for different organizational tiers (e.g., client-wide vs. agency-level).
  • Experience integrating and analyzing historical assessment data to present trends and performance changes over time.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to ensure data quality, consistency, and completeness prior to project close-out.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience preparing status reports and presenting findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated commitment to ongoing training and staying current with cybersecurity standards, tools, and assessment methodologies.
  • Ability to participate in weekly calls and other meetings during standard business hours and collaborate effectively with a remote, multi-organization team.
