Information Security Analyst

Scientific Research Corporation (SRC) is seeking a Security Analyst to support IT infrastructure security, compliance assurance, and audit remediation for United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) Redstone Transition Team projects.

• Reviewing cybersecurity implementation documentation, policies, procedures, guidelines, equipment records, and supporting compliance artifacts for completeness and consistency
• Identifying gaps between documented requirements, planned designs, implemented controls, and operational practices
• Coordinating with project engineers to incorporate security requirements into designs, statements of work, installation plans, test procedures, and project milestones
• Assessing the interfaces among IT infrastructure, physical security measures, and facility-related control systems, including environmental monitoring, building controls, power protection, and utility monitoring
• Coordinating with government cybersecurity and facility personnel to identify system boundaries, ownership, connectivity, access controls, monitoring responsibilities, and supporting documentation
• Working with the Directorate of Public Works, installation communications and IT organizations, construction teams, and other supporting activities to resolve requirements and implementation dependencies
• Developing and maintaining corrective action plans and plans of action and milestones, including priorities, owners, schedules, dependencies, and closure criteria
• Evaluating proposed mitigations for effectiveness and identifying residual risks requiring government review or acceptance
• Supporting site reviews, inspections, and verification activities to confirm corrective measures are implemented and supported by adequate evidence
• Participating in change control boards to assess security and compliance impacts of proposed changes and track resulting actions
• Coordinating with command and supporting organizations to resolve conflicting interpretations, clarify responsibilities, and obtain authoritative decisions
• Preparing detailed assessment reports and executive summaries that explain findings, project impacts, recommended actions, and decisions required
• Maintaining organized, appropriately protected repositories of inspection records, requirements, decisions, corrective actions, and verification evidence
• Identifying recurring deficiencies and recommending improvements to checklists, procedures, design reviews, and project acceptance practices
• Supporting government-led inspection preparation, audit responses, and related security assurance activities
