This is a GRC (Governance, Risk, Compliance) Security Consultant role focused on: FedRAMP / FISMA compliance Translating NIST SP 800-53 controls into real systems Building and maintaining ATO (Authority to Operate) packages Acting as a client-facing advisor (not just technical-this is consultative) Think: "bridge between cybersecurity, compliance, and business stakeholders"
Ideal Candidate Profile (What actually works in the market):Core Background 3 5 years in: Cybersecurity (GRC, Risk, Compliance) Or Federal consulting (Deloitte, Booz, Guidehouse, etc.) Experience with: FedRAMP FISMA NIST frameworks (especially 800-53)
Must-Have Skill Set:Writing System Security Plans (SSPs) end-to-end Understanding RMF (Risk Management Framework) via NIST SP 800-37 Experience supporting or maintaining ATO lifecycle Reviewing vulnerability scans (Qualys, Burp, etc.) Strong client-facing communication
Certifications (what actually closes candidates):Best combos: Security+ (baseline) CAP or CISSP (huge boost) AWS (if cloud/FedRAMP-heavy client) ? If they have CISSP + FedRAMP = premium candidate ($$) ? What They'll Actually Do Day-to-Day This helps you screen fast: Write/edit SSPs, IR Plans, Contingency Plans Map system controls ? NIST 800-53 controls Sit in calls with clients extracting system info Review scan results + flag risks Help prepare for audits / ATO renewals Keep documentation updated (this is BIG) 60% documentation + 25% client interaction + 15% technical review
What to Watch Out For (Common Mismatches):Avoid candidates who: Are purely SOC / blue team (they won't like documentation-heavy work) Only did penetration testing with no compliance exposure Don't understand ATO lifecycle Have zero federal exposure
