• Apply and interpret Commonwealth and agency requirements, including VITA SEC530, NIST guidance, CIS Controls, DoD STIGs, CJIS and VCIN requirements, and applicable HIPAA, PCI, FERPA, FTI, privacy, and contractual obligations.
• Partner with system owners and data owners to establish ownership, classify information, document security plans and controls, complete periodic reviews, and maintain evidence needed for authorization, audit, and ongoing compliance.
• Review vendor and third-party security documentation, including SOC reports, security questionnaires, architecture and data-flow information, contracts, MOUs, MOAs, NDAs, and other interconnection documentation. Identify conditions, gaps, compensating controls, and escalation needs.
• Support interconnection and data-sharing governance by reviewing MOUs and related agreements for security, privacy, least-privilege, data-handling, access-control, incident-notification, and annual-review requirements.
