Responsibilities
Security control implementation: Implement and operate security controls across identity, network, compute, storage, key management, endpoint security, logging, and monitoring within the CUI boundary
Access and privilege management: Administer role-based access, privileged access workflows, MFA/conditional access enforcement, service account governance, and secrets/cert lifecycle tasks
Configuration baseline and hardening: Apply and maintain secure configuration baselines for in-scope systems and services. Investigate drift, remediate misconfigurations, and document exceptions with approvals
Logging and detection operations: Ensure required logging is enabled and flowing to centralized monitoring. Help tune detections, investigate alerts, and support incident response procedures specific to the CUI environment
Vulnerability and patch execution: Run vulnerability scans (or validate results), track remediation, coordinate patching, and verify closure. Manage remediation SLAs and support risk-based prioritization
Change control support: Participate in change reviews for CUI-scoped systems, assess security impact, implement approved changes, and validate post-change security posture
Evidence collection and audit readiness: Produce and maintain audit evidence (config snapshots, access reviews, logging verification, vulnerability reports, change records). Keep evidence organized, complete, and easy to validate
Automation and reliability: Build lightweight automation to reduce manual work (repeatable deployments, configuration validation, evidence collection) and improve consistency without introducing risk
Partner enablement: Support IT and delivery teams working inside the boundary by providing secure implementation guidance, troubleshooting, and clear how-to documentation
