IT Cybersecurity Specialist - Contingent

Contracting Resources Group • Fort Lee, VA

4d • $115,000 - $140,000

About The Position

CRG is seeking two IT Cybersecurity Specialists to architect and implement ServiceNow-specific security controls for the DCMA Blue List Program Support Services contract. This includes Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC), Access Control Lists (ACLs), Data Policies, and Edge Encryption, all aligned with the DoD Zero Trust Strategy. This role is responsible for platform security engineering and maintaining the system's Authority to Operate (ATO). The specialist will develop and maintain the System Security Plan (SSP) and RMF artifacts, and enforce strict data segregation between IL4 (Public) and IL5 (CAC-Authenticated) environments. The ideal candidate will have direct experience securing a ServiceNow instance in a FedRAMP High / DoD IL4-IL5 environment and be comfortable managing POA&M remediation against Government suspense dates.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree required in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum of five (5) years of practical experience.
• Active qualification aligning with DoDM 8140.03 DCWF Work Roles and Proficiency Levels (Foundational and Residential) appropriate for Security Architecture and Engineering (e.g., Security Architect - DCWF 651).
• Demonstrated expertise applying federal security directives, including NIST SP 800-53 controls, NIST SP 800-161 (SCRM), and navigating the DoW Risk Management Framework (RMF) to achieve an Authority to Operate (ATO).
• Demonstrated experience securing ServiceNow instances in a FedRAMP High and DoD IL4/IL5 environment, including configuring ServiceNow ACLs, Client Scripts, Data Policies, and integrating DoW Enterprise Identity, Credential, and Access Management (E-ICAM)/CAC authentication.
• Must be a U.S. citizen with a favorably adjudicated Tier 3 (ADP/IT-II) investigation on file in DISS at the time of offer.

Nice To Haves

• Experience utilizing ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) / Integrated Risk Management (IRM) or Security Operations (SecOps) modules.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement ServiceNow-specific security controls — including RBAC, ACLs, Data Policies, and Edge Encryption — to align with the DoD Zero Trust Strategy and enforce strict data segregation between IL4 (Public) and IL5 (CAC-Authenticated) environments.
• Create and maintain a detailed schema and RBAC matrix outlining all roles, groups, ACLs, and data segregation rules.
• Adhere to local policy and coordinate with the Government office's IT Program Manager and Authorizing Official (AO) to ensure required cybersecurity protocols are maintained and followed.
• Develop and continuously update a comprehensive System Security Plan (SSP) and all required RMF artifacts, mapping ServiceNow platform configurations to NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171/172 (CUI protection), and DoD IL4/IL5 controls to achieve and maintain the system's Authority to Operate (ATO).
• Actively track, manage, and update the Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), preferably within ServiceNow GRC/IRM, to document, report, and remediate identified vulnerabilities within Government-provided suspense dates.
• Conduct continuous monitoring and provide ongoing Security Assessment Reports (SAR) documenting vulnerability scans, penetration test reviews, and compliance checks prior to code promotion, ensuring the ATO remains valid throughout the system's lifecycle.
• Ensure all personnel performing tasks under the PWS meet applicable qualification and certification requirements per DoDM 8140.03, and provide documentation of personnel certifications and qualifications upon request by the CO or COR.
