Responsibilities

  • Own the authorization workstreams for Game Warden across FedRAMP and US agency ATO packages, including initial authorizations, annual assessments, and significant change requests.
  • Author and maintain System Security Plans (SSPs), control implementation narratives, Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&Ms), and supporting authorization artifacts that accurately reflect our architecture, controls, and operating reality. Drive findings and control gaps to closure with measurable outcomes.
  • Drive continuous monitoring activities including monthly POA&M updates, vulnerability and patch reporting, significant change reviews, and annual control assessments.
  • Serve as a technical point of contact for 3PAOs, agency reviewers, and sponsor authorization officials during assessments, readiness reviews, and audits.
