Hybrid/ DC Metro

Since our inception back in 2006, Navitas has grown to be an industry leader in the digital transformation space, and we’ve served as trusted advisors supporting our client base within the commercial, federal, and state and local markets.

At our very core, we’re a group of problem solvers providing our award‑winning technology solutions to drive digital acceleration for our customers! With proven solutions, award‑winning technologies, and a team of expert problem solvers, Navitas has consistently empowered customers to use technology as a competitive advantage and deliver cutting‑edge transformative solutions.

Navitas Business Consulting is delivering Zero Trust implementation services to USCIS, aligned to the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM) v2.0, NIST SP 800-207, OMB M-22-09 and EO 14028. The Device Pillar SME owns the device pillar end to end: from defining what “Advanced” and “Optimal” maturity levels mean for the agency, to spearheading strategies to improve device zero trust maturity through cross-functional and cross-pillar initiatives to improve device security.

This candidate will work with agency device tools such as MDM (Intune, JAMF, Workforce one), EDR (Crowd Strike, Red Canary), and other endpoint security tools to improve security, audit compliance, and enforce compliance and restrict access to resources based on device posture.
The role sits at the seam of multiple customer groups including Windows / Mac / iOS device control, ICAM systems, SIEM/SOC stake holders, and agency leadership. Strong documentation, briefing, and communications skills will be leveraged to coordinate with multiple client groups to effect required outcomes.
The work today spans:

• Device pillar maturity: rebaselined requirements and KPIs across 8 functions (policy enforcement and compliance monitoring, asset and supply chain risk management, Resource Access, Device Threat Protection, Visibility and Analytics, Automation and Orchestration, Governance) and 4 maturity tiers.
• Enterprise Device Policy Enforcement Program:
  Leading an initiative to assess device compliance from monitoring tools and enforce compliance by automated means or requiring user action with increasing access restrictions for non-compliance.
• DLP modernization: a phased Zscaler data protection rollout (Endpoint, Email, Inline Web, GenAI) replacing a legacy DLP toolset, with SIEM integration.
• Tool Opportunity Analyses:
  Continual assessment of the tool landscape to identify efficiencies, underutilized features, overlaps, and gaps.

Responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Device pillar strategy and maturity (about 30%)
  • Own the agency device pillar maturity baseline against CISA ZTMM v2.0; maintain requirements, KPIs and tier exit criteria for all 8 device functions.
  • Run evidence‑based maturity assessments: define scoring rules, collect dated artifacts, separate owned vs. shared vs. inherited controls, and defend scores with system owners.
  • Translate the maturity roadmap into sequenced work packages, milestone gates and measurable targets.
  • Lead a data‑source census so coverage metrics have an authoritative denominator.
• Enterprise device governance: MDM (about 35%)
  • Assess and enforce device policy compliance
  • Work with the device platform team on expansion of Intune functionality from other tools (SCCM,ecto)
  • Map ZT maturity requirements to actual sate metrics to evaluate quantitative maturity scores traceable to why scores are what they are and how to improve
  • Partner with multiple tool stake holders to champion cross-functional…
