The JD states '3-5 years' experience; the overall years minimum is set to the lower bound of 3.
A Bachelor's degree is listed as preferred with an explicit 'combination of education and experience can be accepted' alternative, so the degree requirement is set to None.
CJIS compliance is a hard operational requirement woven throughout the essential functions, not merely a preferred familiarity — treated as required.
All certifications (Security+, SecurityX/CASP+, CISSP, CISM, Microsoft Security, GIAC) are explicitly listed under 'Preferred certifications' and are not required gates.
Government/regulated-environment experience is explicitly called 'preferred' and is omitted from the skills list as it names no specific technology.
