Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead cybersecurity efforts across the full system lifecycle for DoD and Intelligence Community systems, focusing on RMF implementation and system authorization. Manage daily security operations, conduct risk assessments, and maintain critical security documentation to ensure operational readiness.
Requires a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) and over 12 years of cybersecurity experience, including 10 years as an ISSO. Must possess an active TS/SCI with Polygraph and DoD 8140.03 compliance (IAM Level II or IAT Level III).
What You Will Do:
As an Information Systems Security Officer at Independent Software, you will play a critical role in strengthening and defending the security posture of mission-critical systems supporting the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community. You will lead cybersecurity efforts across the full system lifecycle, from initial design and Risk Management Framework (RMF) implementation through system authorization, continuous monitoring, and ongoing sustainment.
In this role, you will serve as a key security authority for assigned systems and programs, ensuring compliance with evolving DoD and IC policies while proactively identifying and mitigating risks to classified environments. You will work closely with system administrators, engineers, and program leadership to integrate security into system architecture and operations, ensuring security is embedded—not bolted on—throughout the lifecycle.
You will drive system authorization activities, oversee vulnerability management efforts, and guide remediation strategies to maintain operational readiness and accreditation. Additionally, you will provide technical leadership in interpreting security requirements, implementing controls, and responding to emerging threats, while continuously improving processes to enhance resilience, compliance, and mission effectiveness.
Your expertise will directly support national security objectives by ensuring systems remain secure, compliant, and capable of operating in high-threat, high-stakes environments.
