Cleared Information Systems Security Manager (ISSM)
ASEC’s Information Systems Security Managers (ISSMs) help safeguard critical information systems and ensure their resilience against evolving cyber threats. These positions represent some of the most impactful cleared Information Security jobs, serving as principal advisors on all matters related to the protection of classified systems within their scope.
ISSMs at ASEC oversee the proper implementation, assessment, and testing of security controls as required by the Authority to Operate (ATO). They stay ahead of today’s cybersecurity challenges by applying leading frameworks, including the Risk Management Framework (RMF/NIST 800-37) and the Joint SAP Implementation Guide (JSIG), ensuring the highest standards of system security.
As team leaders, ISSMs manage and mentor Information Systems Security Officers, Network Administrators, and System Administrators—empowering them to perform at their best in defense of our national security. Their expertise in information systems security is highly valued and plays a vital role in protecting both ASEC and the Department of Defense from advanced threats.
Cleared Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO)
ASEC Information Systems Security Officers (ISSOs) act as the guardians of classified computing environments, filling essential roles in cleared Information Security jobs that support national defense. Working in close collaboration with our Information Systems Security Managers (ISSMs), ISSOs uphold the highest standards of security through strict adherence to the Risk Management Framework (RMF) and the Joint SAP Implementation Guide (JSIG).
Their responsibilities are pivotal to maintaining system compliance, conducting in-depth audits, and developing robust security plans to protect critical information assets across Department of Defense systems.
Our ISSOs also lead security education and awareness programs, equipping team members with the knowledge to counter evolving threats. They play an active role in coordinating system modifications with ISSMs and overseeing key technical tasks—including system patching, malware protection, backups, and recovery—by guiding Network Administrators and System Administrators in their daily operations. Through these efforts, ISSOs help ensure the integrity and resilience of our nation’s most sensitive information systems.
