Why we read it this way (7)
Work location is not specified in the posting; no city, state, or remote designation is given. The CBSA is left blank accordingly.
The clearance requirement is an active DoD Top Secret — the posting does not mention SCI or a polygraph, so it is classified as Top Secret (not TS/SCI).
The role requires 3+ years of experience specifically as a Systems Administrator and/or ISSO implementing DCSA requirements; this experience gate is at the role level and drives the overall years minimum.
A baseline cybersecurity certification is hard-required; CompTIA Security+ is listed first with CySA+ and SSCP as named alternatives — all three satisfy the same gate.
RMF, ISO/IEC 27001, and CMMC appear exclusively under the 'Desired Experience' section, which explicitly states candidates are not expected to have this experience at hire.
The role blends ISSO duties (primary) with Systems Administrator responsibilities, creating some ambiguity between 15-1212 and 15-1244; 15-1212 is the better fit given the dominant focus on security compliance, A&A, and ConMon.
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.
