You'll work with leaders to assist with codifying strategic objectives into doctrine, policies, and procedures that can help meet defined objectives.You'll assist with the evaluation of computer applications, software, or specialized utility programs to determine if software assurance best practices are followed. You'll recommend tools and capabilities based on your research of the current environment and knowledge of various on-premise, cloud-based, and hybrid resources to address the risk management framework (RMF). Your technical expertise will be vital as you work with IC clients to ensure standards are met with information assurance and security requirements.
