• Translating actual system design and implementation details into accurate compliance documentation.
• Coordinating across engineering, security, and program stakeholders to keep authorization work moving.
• Navigate ambiguity: Continuously adapt to evolving requirements and shifting stakeholder expectations while keeping the authorization effort on track.
• Reviewing and integrating consultant work product, ensuring the final package is coherent, accurate, and defensible.

• User Security Awareness: Ensure system users are trained and briefed on security awareness policies before being granted system access.
• Collaborate and Secure: Work with DCSA, ITPSO, ISSM, and the site Facility Security Officer (FSO) to ensure continuous compliance.
