As the CSSE, strong technical qualifications are required with demonstrated ability to write and speak succinctly and accurately. Additional responsibilities for the ISSE include: Working independently as a Cyber/SSE SME in a structured engineering environment, where the CSSE decomposes system-level security requirements/controls; interleaves criteria from Cyber Survivability/Resilience, Risk Management Framework (RMF), and/or System/Technical Requirements Document (SRD or TRD); and allocates Cyber/SSE requirements to segment/subsystem/component/software specifications. Understanding of Space/Ground interface control documents and security-relevant connectivity considerations at physical, electrical, and logical layers. Preparing and coordinating Interconnection Security Agreements (ISAs) where necessary. Mastery of RED/BLACK boundary definition, TEMPEST considerations, Crypto units, Cross Domain Solutions, and Controlled Interfaces within complex systems. Leading the Cyber/SSE effort in the development of program CDRLs: RMF SSP including SCTM, RAR, POAMs and relevant artifacts (Incident Response Plan, Contingency Plan, ConMon Plan, as required). Manually executing DISA STIG checks for embedded and COTS environments, including knowledge of cloud computing environments. Developing security control Verification Procedures and/or mappings to existing requirements. Ensuring systems are operated, maintained, and disposed of, in accordance with security policies and procedures as outlined in the system security authorization package (SSP).
