Position Overview:

We are seeking a NIST 800-53 Security Control Assessor to evaluate and validate security controls for compliance with federal requirements.

Basic Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or related field.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in security control assessment or IT auditing.
• Knowledge of FISMA, RMF, and related frameworks.
• Proficiency with assessment tools like Nessus and SCAP Compliance Checker.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., CAP, CISA, CISSP) preferred.

Additional Qualifications:
• Familiarity with automated compliance tools such as Tenable SecurityCenter.
• History of strong documentation and reporting skills.
• Experience with penetration testing or vulnerability scanning tools.

At Rapid Strategy, we believe that building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic team is key to driving innovation and success. Studies show that women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community may hesitate to apply for roles unless they meet every qualification listed. We want to change that. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every single qualification, we still encourage you to apply. You might be the perfect fit for this position—or another opportunity with us. The Rapid Team looks forward to hearing from you!
