Missing or incomplete evidence can fail a control regardless of implementation quality. • Ability to work independently while coordinating with Security Engineers, client stakeholders, and firm leadership.
Responsibilities
• Lead initial client scoping engagements: identify people, processes, and assets that interact with CUI and FCI. Build RACI accountability matrices and data flow diagrams. • Determine enclave architecture recommendations (GCC, GCC High, hybrid, on-prem, full environment) in collaboration with Security Engineers based on where CUI/FCI resides in the client environment. • Conduct comprehensive gap assessments against all 320 objectives across 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2. Score each objective as Met, Not Met, or Partially Met. Calculate and submit SPRS scores. • Create detailed Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) from gap assessment findings. Prioritize remediation tasks and define milestones, resource requirements, and completion dates. • Translate gap assessment findings into specific, actionable remediation tasks mapped to Azure/M365 components using the team’s Control-Task Tracker. Each task must include enough detail that a Security Engineer can execute without further interpretation. • Develop and maintain System Security Plans (SSPs) documenting all 110 controls, implementation status, system boundaries, data flows, and organizational policies. • Create and maintain the full CMMC compliance policy library: access control policy, incident response plan, configuration management policy, audit policy, media protection policy, and all other required policy and procedure documents. • Manage the evidence collection process. Define what evidence is needed per control, coordinate with Security Engineers to capture technical evidence, and organize the evidence repository. • Conduct internal readiness reviews and mock assessments prior to C3PAO engagement. Identify remaining gaps and drive remediation to closure. • Support clients during C3PAO Level 2 assessments: answer assessor questions, locate evidence, provide clarifications, and coordinate responses to findings. • Manage 4-7 concurrent client engagements at various stages of the CMMC lifecycle. • Train client staff on security policies, acceptable use, CUI handling procedures, and incident reporting obligations.
