Why we read it this way (6)
The minimum degree requirement is an Associate's degree in Cyber Security or a related field; however, since an Associate's is below the Bachelor's threshold tracked here and no Bachelor's is hard-required, degree requirement is set to None. A Bachelor's degree is listed only under Preferred Qualifications.
The certification requirement gates on holding at least ONE of: CISSP, Security+, or EC-Council CEH — these are treated as interchangeable alternatives for a single hard gate.
CISA, CISSM, CISSPA, and PMP certifications appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
Technology skills (MS Office, videoconferencing software, digital records management systems, general operating systems) are listed under Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities as general context rather than hard gates, and are not framed with firm gating language; MS Office is included as preferred to reflect the explicit mention.
The title includes 'Manager' but the role reports to a Director, has limited described direct-report scope, and requires only 2 years of experience — the actual requirements support a Mid-level band rather than Senior.
