Veracity Engineering is an industry leader in aviation engineering and management consulting. We apply proven principles and innovative approaches to solve tomorrow’s problems today. Since 2001, Veracity’s staff of experienced, passionate, and creative professionals has provided our government and commercial clients with innovative solutions to modernize air traffic systems and advance global initiatives in safety, efficiency, and capacity.

WHAT THE POSITION ENTAILS:

In 2013, the National Airspace System (NAS) was identified through Presidential Executive Order 13636 “Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity” as a national Critical Infrastructure and Key Resource (CIKR) for which a cyber-attack could have catastrophic economic and national defense impacts. The resiliency of this Critical Infrastructure is contingent upon mission-focused multi-year strategic planning that will support continued effective organizational cybersecurity risk management and the ability to identify and respond to threats to ensure continued NAS operations under a range of cyber conditions. Veracity Engineering supports the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) operational arm in ensuring that the FAA’s hundreds of systems have sufficient safeguards and controls for the implementation and execution of security in the cyber domain. We provide consulting, assurance, and support services that help solve our client’s toughest challenges.

Manage and track planned changes to assigned systems, assessing impacts on system security posture, and ensuring the thorough integration of cybersecurity policies and practices.
Lead the creation of the following critical security documentation facilitating a structured security accreditation process – System Authorization Briefs (SABs), System Characterization Documents (SCDs), Privacy Threshold Assessments (PTAs), Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs), Information Security Contingency Plan (ISCP), ISCP Test Plan and Results (ISCP TRR), Security Assessment Reports (SARs), and Risk Assessment Reports (RARs).
Develop comprehensive Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&M) and manage remediation strategies, enhancing the resilience of federal systems against cybersecurity threats.
Transition systems to FedRAMP-compliant cloud solutions, ensuring adherence to federal security standards.
Provide detailed mitigation strategies following assessments of technical, operational, and cloud vulnerabilities to safeguard federal systems.

Must Haves:

Education:

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information systems, mathematics, statistics, operational research, or business administration from an accredited institution.

Experience:

10-15 years of relevant experience.
Master’s degree in related field may be substituted for bachelor’s degree and 3 years of experience.
Five years of relevant experience may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.

Skills:

Proven experience in providing RMF assessment and consulting services for federal clients.
Expertise in cybersecurity risk management, the development of comprehensive security documentation, and strategic security planning.
Demonstrated ability in enhancing the security postures of critical federal systems through meticulous documentation, assessment of security and privacy controls, and development of robust security frameworks.
Experience in application of cybersecurity principles to managing and tracking system changes, ensuring integration of cybersecurity requirements throughout the system lifecycle.
Experience in leading the development of System Security Plans (SSPs), and Executive Summaries contributing to a structured accreditation process.
Experience in producing SSPs, ISCPs, ISCP TRR, PTA, PIA, SCD, and SAB.
Skilled in the development and management of POA&Ms with a focus on remediation strategies to enhance system resilience against cybersecurity threats.
