📋 Description

• Draw the map. Produce enterprise and solution architecture views (conceptual to logical to physical) that follow TOGAF conventions. • Advance Zero Trust maturity. Assess current posture and recommend a staged roadmap using CISA ZTMM v2.0 pillars and crosscutting capabilities. • Design practical ZT use cases. Document identity, device, micro segmentation, and policy decision patterns (PDP/PEP, ABAC) and guide them through governance to decision. • Shepherd implementations. Turn use cases into implementation and test plans for cloud and on Prem systems; contribute to test reports and after-action findings. • Report what matters. Build Power BI dashboards and monthly/quarterly scorecards with drilldowns by pillar/capability so leaders can see progress at a glance. • Align to federal guidance. Ensure designs reflect NIST SP 800207 Zero Trust, OMB M2209, TIC 3.0, and relevant federal directives/handbooks. • Work within RMF. Support system owners through control selection, inheritance, evidence, and continuous monitoring; account for FedRAMP baselines when cloud services are in play. • Deliver accessibly. Make documents and diagrams of Section 508–conformant and consistent with Federal compliance.
