Why we read it this way (10)
The role title is 'Information Assurance and Security Engineer / ISSO' with no seniority level in the title, so the title states no level; the 5–9 year experience gate and end-to-end ISSO ownership support a Senior classification.
Degree requirement is None: the JD explicitly accepts an Associate's degree + 7 years or a High School diploma + 9 years as alternatives to a Bachelor's, making no single degree a hard gate.
Clearance is set to None: the JD requires the ability to obtain a DHS Public Trust, which is not a US security clearance (it is a suitability determination), so it does not meet the clearance gate threshold.
CISSP is listed as required but with a 6-month grace period to obtain it post-hire; it is retained as a hard gate because the JD places it in the Basic Qualifications section with firm language.
Tenable/Nessus is listed as the primary scan tool with Microsoft Defender named alongside it in the same parenthetical; they are captured as a single skill with Defender as an alternative.
DHS 4300A appears in both the responsibilities narrative and the Preferred Qualifications section; it is marked preferred based on its explicit placement under Preferred Qualifications.
Azure PIM appears in the Preferred section phrased as 'PIM/PIM' (likely a typo for PIM/PAM); captured under Azure RBAC/Zero Trust context and not emitted as a separate skill due to the apparent duplication error.
Agile methodology experience is listed under Preferred Qualifications but names no specific tool or platform, so it is omitted per the no-generic-concepts rule.
Remote=true per caller declaration; no metro is inferred.
Caller marked this a fully-remote role — scored against the national candidate pool.
