Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $133,196 (middle half $100,370–$160,739). This posting is about at that midpoint.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 15, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (9)

The degree requirement lists a Bachelor's in a relevant field but explicitly states 'equivalent relevant experience may be considered where permitted by applicable workforce qualification requirements' — treated as no hard degree gate.

No specific total years of experience is stated numerically; the posting uses 'senior-level' and 'demonstrated senior-level experience' as qualitative gates rather than a year count.

CISSP, CGRC/CAP, and Security+ appear together under Desired Qualifications as alternatives aligned to the DCWF role — grouped as a single preferred skill with alternatives.

Tenable Nessus and Tenable Security Manager are listed together under Desired Qualifications; emitted as one preferred skill with the secondary as an alternative.

STIG Viewer and Evaluate STIG are listed together under Desired Qualifications; emitted as one preferred skill with the secondary as an alternative.

Experience as ISSM, ISSE, cybersecurity manager, or senior RMF lead for Army/DoD systems is listed under Desired Qualifications — this is a role/experience type rather than a named technology, so it is not emitted as a skill.

Experience supporting classified systems, SAP environments, and Government Change Control Board processes is listed under Desired Qualifications — no specific named technology to extract.

Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): NIST SP 800-37, NIST SP 800-53, Static code analysis.

Requires a TS/SCI 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.
