Key responsibilities & impact

Independently plan and lead hands-on cybersecurity assessments across enterprise, cloud, and public-sector environments — including election infrastructure at the county, city, and state level.
Evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of technical controls spanning identity and access management, endpoint protection, patch and vulnerability management, secure configuration, network segmentation, data protection, logging/monitoring, and incident response.
Review and interpret technical configurations and artifacts — firewall rulesets, GPOs, hardening baselines, cloud security configurations, IAM policies, and logging setups — to validate control implementation.
Conduct stakeholder interviews and documentation reviews to understand policy, process, and control maturity.
Assess client environments against established frameworks and standards including NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls, ISO 27001, CMMC, CJIS, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
Produce detailed assessment reports with prioritized risk findings, maturity ratings, and pragmatic, business-aware recommendations.
Map findings to client risk and business context, translating technical gaps into clear remediation roadmaps.
Present findings and recommendations to client stakeholders ranging from technical practitioners to executive leadership.
Drive continuous improvement of Apollo’s assessment methodologies, workbooks, tooling, and report templates.
Mentor junior assessors and perform peer review of assessment deliverables.
Collaborate with consultants, engineers, advisors, and project managers to deliver high-quality engagements.
Stay current with emerging threats, technologies, and regulatory developments.
