Why we read it this way (11)
The posting is W-2 only with no subcontracting and no sponsorship, indicating a contract (W-2) engagement for a government/agency client.
The job is hybrid (3 days in office, 2 days remote) and candidates MUST be SC residents — no relocation allowed. The CBSA is inferred as Columbia, SC, the most likely SC state agency hub.
The degree requirement states a bachelor's in a related field is required but explicitly allows 'equivalent experience may be considered,' so the degree requirement is set to None.
The 3-5+ years experience range is stated both at the role level and per-skill; overall years minimum is set to 3 (the stated minimum). The per-skill years demanded of 3 reflects the explicit '3 years' stated for DLP, Insider Risk, DSPM, and alert triage/collaboration duties.
CompTIA Security+ and GSEC are listed as interchangeable ('such as') under required certifications — captured as one skill with GSEC as an alternative.
Cortex (Palo Alto) is called out by name under preferred AI-driven security tools alongside DSPM platforms; listed as preferred.
Microsoft SC-100, SC-200, CEH, and Associate-level CISSP are all listed together under preferred certifications — captured as one preferred skill with the others as alternatives.
Security automation/scripting appears only in the preferred section alongside Azure and identity-based access controls; listed as preferred.
