  • Sanitizing, destroying, and disposing of media cleared for destruction (e.g., hard drives, CDs / DVDs).
  • Validating required cybersecurity training requirements for NCTSSD personnel, as needed, to maintain system access.

Onsite Support Expectations :

  • If the primary ISSE is attending, virtual participation or no presence may be sufficient.

  • 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.

  • Familiarity with vulnerability analysis, penetration testing, and risk mitigation planning.
  • 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.
