Description:

The Information Security Section (ISS) serves the Department by creating an information security culture and enabling the business. We are metrics minded, employee focused, and view security as a service. ISS is responsible for

• Identifying and continuously assessing risk
• Developing, institutionalizing, and improving strategies to mitigate risk
• Limiting the potential effects of information security events
• The selection, assessment, authorization, and monitoring of security controls while contributing to the overall information security plan.

The Information Security Section (ISS) is functionally organized into Security Awareness and Governance, Compliance, Architecture, and Portfolio Management. Cross-team collaboration is essential to our success.

The DHS Liaison serves the Division of Medicaid Services and is the champion for security initiatives integrating information security into program operations. This work is completed by engaging other security staff, communicating risk, and developing strategies to reduce risk. To successfully do this work, one must possess strong communication and interpersonal skills capable of presenting to diverse audiences including executive and non-technical individuals.

A federally recognized (ANSI) information security certification must be obtained within 6 months of the start date and maintained for this position. The Department of Defense (DOD) 8570 Baseline Certifications defined by Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is the baseline to consider when reviewing the relevance of the certification.
