Job Details

Why Consider This Job Opportunity

This CDM Security Analyst role offers a salary up to $105,000 along with incentive bonus plans and generous paid time off packages. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits are provided, in addition to a 401K with company match and employee stock purchase plan. Work with a premier cybersecurity consulting group and positively impact public safety within a people-first, community-focused culture.

What To Expect (Job Responsibilities)

In this role, you will:

  • Implement and manage Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) tools in alignment with CMS and DHS guidance.
  • Support asset discovery, vulnerability scanning, endpoint detection, and configuration management activities.
  • Integrate data from CDM tools into dashboards for reporting and compliance metrics.
  • Analyze system and vulnerability data to identify security gaps and mitigation opportunities.
  • Collaborate with Cybersecurity Leads, ISSOs, and Risk Strategists to enhance CDM capabilities across ACA/NST systems.

What Is Required (Qualifications)

Candidates must have a Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field along with 5+ years of experience in cybersecurity operations, continuous monitoring, or CDM-related efforts. Familiarity with DHS CDM program goals, phases, and tools (e.g., Tenable, Qualys, Splunk, BigFix, McAfee) is essential. Knowledge of NIST SP 800-53, RMF, and CMS ARS, as well as strong written communication and technical documentation skills are required.

How To Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)

Preferred pros will have federal healthcare environment experience, particularly with CMS or HHS, and a strong grounding in asset management, vulnerability scanning, and configuration baselining tools. Experience integrating CDM metrics into dashboards, as well as industry certifications such as Security+, CySA+, CEH, or CDPSE, and knowledge of Zero Trust Architecture or privileged access frameworks, is highly valued.
