What will you be doing?

With the rapidly changing geopolitical environment, competition for sensitive technologies, and risks associated with potential exploitation of sensitive personal and business data, demand for national security-focused risk analysis and mitigation is growing significantly. Our team supports organizations, investors and counsel in identifying, assessing, and reducing national security-related risk through modern security architectures and enterprise-grade solutions.

We focus on implementing Zero Trust security frameworks, establishing robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) controls, and embedding regulatory requirements into business systems and processes. Our approach facilitates transparency between companies and regulators by leveraging data analytics, automated compliance monitoring, and advanced security tooling. The team serves as fiduciary to U.S. government agencies as either third-party monitor or third-party auditor, ensuring adherence to federal security standards and frameworks.

Responsibilities :

• Lead cross-functional project teams in executing advisory, oversight, and audit projects related to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) national security reviews, export and technology controls, and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). Develop comprehensive project plans, establish key milestones, and manage resource allocation using enterprise project management methodologies and tools.
• Design and implement Zero Trust architecture frameworks and IAM solutions, including privileged access management (PAM), role-based access control (RBAC), and continuous authentication mechanisms. Collaborate with client security personnel to define and document security controls for distributed, big data systems with emphasis on least-privilege access principles.
• Conduct enterprise-wide security assessments to verify the efficacy of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, with particular focus on identity governance, access management, and Zero Trust implementation. Evaluate security control maturity against industry frameworks such as NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and CMMC.
• Direct comprehensive security assessments of applications and software, including : (i) reviewing architecture diagrams with emphasis on identity and access flows; (ii) interviewing personnel across DevSecOps teams; (iii) evaluating IAM integration points and Zero Trust implementation; (iv) overseeing static and dynamic code analysis; (v) managing network penetration testing; and (vi) preparing detailed technical reports for senior counsel, executives, and national security officials.
• Analyze and interpret penetration test results, focusing on identity-related vulnerabilities, access control weaknesses, and deviations from Zero Trust principles. Develop remediation roadmaps aligned with enterprise architecture standards.
• Implement and integrate security technologies including Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions to enable automated compliance monitoring and security oversight.
• Create and maintain project management artifacts including work breakdown structures, risk registers, and resource allocation plans. Establish project governance frameworks and reporting mechanisms to ensure alignment with organizational objectives and regulatory requirements.
