Torch Technologies is seeking a SAP Organizational PSO to support the Joint Interagency Task Force 401. JIATF 401 serves as a focal point for the Department of War to synchronize and integrate C-sUAS efforts for all federal C-sUAS stakeholders (Office of the Secretary of War, Joint Staff, Services and Inter-Agency). The incumbent will provide a variety of SAP and SCI security functions to enable the JIATF GSSO/SSO to effectively implement and maintain a SAP portfolio and any necessary SAP/SCI associated duties/secured spaces. The JIATF 401 PSO ensures security functions are being executed in accordance with applicable legal, regulatory, and policy requirements and works in tandem with GAMs, CAMs, GSSOs, and CSSOs.

As a SAP Organizational PSO your duties will include the following, but are not limited to:

• Manage the security oversight, guidance, and implementation of all insider threat, program protection, OPSEC, and security compliance activities for assigned SAPs (and any subordinate tiers or projects) employed across the JIATF. The PSO will provide multi-discipline security support for one or more of the customer's Special Access Programs (SAPs). The position will provide "day-to-day" multi-discipline analysis for Collateral, Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and Special Access Program (SAP) activities.
• Coordinates with the GSSO/SSO to develop, implement, and enforce a security program that protects all facets of the assigned SAP compartments and sub-compartments to ensure security alignment and horizontal protections across the joint force and interagency.
• Assesses unique risks with all eligibility determinations granted with an exception code, unresolved derogatory information, or information derived from the pre-screening questionnaire (PSQ), and coordinates with the respective CI support activity, Insider Threat Cell or the DoD Consolidated Adjudications Services, as necessary.
• Reviews the SAP nomination package and makes an access recommendation to the AAA (through GSSO).
• In coordination with the GSSO, reviews and endorses--annually, at minimum--all PPPs under their cognizance to ensure compliance with DoDI 5000.83 requirements.
• Takes the appropriate security management office relationship in DISS to effectively manage individual personnel vetting information concerning an individual's eligibility for SAP access. Evaluates information developed from continuous vetting checks to ensure personnel continue to meet suitability for continued access to SAP.
• Ensures the sufficient development and employment of SETA programs.
• Verifies annually that all SAPFs, as accredited by a CA SAPCO-approved SAPFAO, are properly inspected for security compliance. Validates that each assigned GSSO and SSO/PSM conducts and documents annual self-inspection and evaluates all inspection documentation, approving the resultant corrective actions to establish or ensure compliance.
• Coordinates with IS AOs for ISs storing, processing, transmitting, and displaying special access required (SAR) information that the GSSO is responsible for and applies risk management principles to SAP security architectures and environments. Obtains threat and vulnerability information for identified assets and assesses the impact of potential attacks to determine the associated risk. Assesses the vulnerability of critical program information (CPI), assets, or operations to specific threats. Identifies risk mitigation measures, to include required costs and resources. In coordination with their SAP IS AO, recommends changes to the IS security environment and operational needs that could affect the security authorization in accordance with the signed and approved authority to operate (ATO).
• Evaluates SPO's access eligibility recommendation and any additional information the nominated individual provides to "yes" answers on their PSQ. Assesses unique risks with all answers and report to GSSO.
• Report/Investigate Security Incidents/Inquiries. The PSM will notify the GSSO of any security incident involving CPI related to a SAP contract. The PSM will provide the details of inadvertent security infractions and security violations to the cognizant CI authority to assess potential insider threat or foreign intelligence nexus.
• PSMs will conduct SAVs at their discretion, if a risk of SAP exposure is apparent based on security practices, or as directed by the CA SAPCO or GSSO. During a SAV, the PSM will review security documentation and make recommendations to the GSSO and SAPCO.
