How this req sits in the market our data
Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.
What the occupation pays Median $152,225 (middle half $125,286–$177,673).
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (9)
The clearance requirement is 'Active Top Secret' as a hard gate; SCI eligibility is listed as preferred, not required — the clearance is mapped to TopSecret accordingly.
The degree requirement is listed as 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent experience', so no formal degree is hard-gated.
Total years minimum is set to 8 (the overall DoD cybersecurity experience gate); the 5-year RMF/A&A requirement is captured on those specific skills.
Certifications (CISSP, CISM, CASP+, CCSP) appear under a 'Preferred certifications' heading and are not hard gates; CISSP is listed as the primary with the others as alternatives since they are presented as a peer group.
All technical tools and platforms (eMASS/Xacta, ACAS, STIG, ZTA, FedRAMP, Windows, Linux, cloud) appear under the 'Desired Qualifications' section and are therefore preferred, not required.
The title uses 'ISSO' (Information System Security Officer) but the responsibilities describe ISSM-level duties (managing multiple systems, briefing senior leadership, leading full RMF lifecycle) — the role is squarely within the Information Security Analysts occupation regardless of the title distinction.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): POA&M management, Zero Trust Architecture.
Requires a Top 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.
