About The Position

Kentro is hiring for a Cybersecurity Audit Manager to coordinate and support all phases of cybersecurity‑related audit engagements across DOC, serving as the central liaison for planning, evidence curation, packaged responses, and follow‑up actions.

These coordination efforts drive measurable improvements in cybersecurity posture and incremental gains in OIG FISMA outcomes.
