  • Cross-Coverage & Availability :

  • The backup should be available on-call for urgent needs (e.g., incident response, compliance review deadlines).

  • Proficiency with ACAS, Nessus, Splunk, SCAP Compliance Checker (SCC), POA&Ms, DIACAP, NISPOM, and vulnerability management tools.

  • Proficiency with scripting or automation (Python, PowerShell, SQL, etc.) for RMF-related tasks.
  • Understanding of zero-trust principles, Secure DevOps, and security across the full system lifecycle.
