What You’ll Do

  • Execute monthly FedRAMP Continuous Monitoring activities, ensuring timely and accurate completion of deliverables

  • Maintain and update Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms), including tracking remediation progress and validating closure

  • Review and analyze vulnerability scan results (e.g., Nessus) and assist with prioritization and escalation

  • Maintain an accurate, up-to-date view of vulnerability status across the environment

  • Monitor and report on aging vulnerabilities and SLA adherence

  • Ensure consistency between scan results, ticketing systems (e.g., ServiceNow), and POA&M records

Operational Visibility & Monitoring

  • Maintain continuous operational visibility into the security posture of FedRAMP systems, including vulnerabilities, assets, and control status

  • Validate that security-relevant data (scan results, logs, asset inventory, and tracking systems) is complete, accurate, and aligned across sources

  • Identify gaps in visibility (e.g., missing assets, incomplete scan coverage, inconsistent data) and escalate appropriately

  • Support continuous monitoring activities aligned with FedRAMP and NIST 800-137 (ISCM) expectations

  • Assist in ensuring that logging, monitoring, and security tooling provide sufficient coverage to support ongoing risk awareness and audit readiness

Additional Responsibilities

  • Prepare and maintain audit-ready documentation and ConMon artifacts, including monthly summaries

  • Partner with engineering, cloud, and security teams to support timely remediation efforts

  • Assist with annual assessments and audit preparation, including coordination with internal and external auditors

  • Identify recurring issues or trends and escalate to the senior lead for resolution

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–4 years of experience in cybersecurity, vulnerability management, or compliance operations

  • Exposure to FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, or similar security frameworks

  • Hands-on experience working with vulnerability scanning tools (e.g., Nessus, Qualys)

  • Experience tracking vulnerabilities or security findings in a ticketing or tracking system (e.g., ServiceNow, Jira)

  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage and track large volumes of findings accurately

  • High attention to detail and commitment to maintaining data accuracy and consistency

  • Ability to identify and investigate discrepancies across multiple data sources

  • Understanding of the importance of continuous monitoring, system visibility, and audit readiness in regulated environments

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey status and risk

  • Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with a senior lead and cross-functional teams

  • BS Engineering/Computer Science or equivalent experience required

Nice to Have

  • Experience with FedRAMP Continuous Monitoring processes or reporting

  • Familiarity with POA&M management and audit support activities

  • Exposure to logging, monitoring, or SIEM platforms

  • Experience improving workflows through automation or scripting (e.g., PowerShell, Python, Power Automate)

  • Vulnerability status is consistently tracked and reported

  • Security data is aligned across tools and reporting artifacts

  • ConMon deliverables are completed on time
