• Partner with program, engineering, and compliance teams to translate cybersecurity and regulatory requirements into actionable architecture and engineering decisions.
• Support continuous monitoring and risk management activities for cloud-hosted systems.
• Document architecture decisions, security control implementations, and system security artifacts to support authorization packages.
• Ensure security architecture and engineering practice aligns with applicable compliance requirements and regulatory standards, including NIST, FISMA, FedRAMP, CIS Controls, and HIPAA.
