Why we read it this way (9)
The posting requires a Secret clearance or higher as a hard gate; 'or higher' means TS or TS/SCI would also satisfy the requirement — Secret is the minimum captured here.
Security+ (or a higher cert: CySA+, CISM, or CISSP) is explicitly required; the alternatives reflect the JD's own list of acceptable substitutes.
MCSE/MCSA/MCSD certifications appear under 'Preferred Qualifications' and are not a hard gate.
The minimum education requirement is a High School Diploma or GED — no college degree is required.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
'Scripting and automation tools' is stated as a required component of the 3-year experience gate but no specific language (PowerShell, Python, etc.) is named; captured as 'scripting' to reflect the stated requirement without inventing a tool.
Cloud migration (public and private cloud) is described as a core duty in the responsibilities section and is consistent with the required experience in IT strategies and modernization.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
