Insight Global is currently seeking an Information Systems Security Manager (ISSM) to join a client in the Defense and Aerospace industry supporting a division-wide classified security program in Albuquerque, NM. This individual will manage security documentation, RMF/Revision 5 accreditation and compliance activities, ATO efforts, and DCSA requirements across classified environments while supporting multiple systems undergoing migration, certification, or revision. The ISSM will support a CS LAN environment consisting of approximately three servers, including Linux systems, while also taking on hands-on ISSO technical responsibilities such as system patching, basic security administration, compliance remediation, and data spill procedures. This individual will work closely with technical teams and program stakeholders to interpret regulatory guidance, maintain system security documentation, and address evolving security and compliance requirements. The ideal candidate will combine strong security program administration and documentation experience with enough hands-on technical proficiency to effectively support both ISSM and ISSO responsibilities. This role also offers the opportunity to expand into more technical ISSE-related responsibilities as the security program evolves.
