CISSP RMF/ISSO Expert | eMASS, NIST 800-53 & DoD Compliance

I am a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) with over 6 years of hands-on experience as an Information System Security Officer (ISSO) supporting the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. I specialize in Risk Management Framework (RMF) implementation, eMASS package management, and full-lifecycle cybersecurity compliance for DoD and government programs.
My background includes leading security control assessments, developing and remediating Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&Ms), building System Security Plans (SSPs), and performing vulnerability management using STIG, ACAS, SCAP Compliance Checker, and related tools. I also bring AWS Cloud Practitioner certification and practical experience integrating cybersecurity into system development lifecycles for complex defense environments.
Clients value my ability to translate complex NIST SP 800-53 requirements into clear, actionable deliverables while delivering fast, audit-ready results. Whether it’s a quick-turn POA&M fix, a complete RMF package, a compliance gap analysis, or part-time virtual ISSO support, I focus on reducing risk and helping organizations meet ATO deadlines without unnecessary overhead.
I am professional, responsive, and selective with engagements so I can always deliver high-quality work while fully honoring my primary full-time role. All projects are handled remotely under strict confidentiality.
