Why we read it this way (4)
CISSP and CISM are listed as 'preferred' certifications, not hard requirements.
The degree requirement is a Bachelor's in Computer Science, IT, Cybersecurity, or a related field — no equivalent-experience substitution is offered, so it is treated as a hard gate.
The 10+ years of experience is stated at the role level (information security/assurance programs broadly), not tied to any single named technology.
PII/PIA knowledge is explicitly required in the responsibilities and requirements sections, covering both Privacy Impact Assessments and protection of Personally Identifiable Information.
