Why we read it this way (12)
The role is listed as remote but requires travel to client sites in Columbus, OH or Richmond, VA; the Columbus, OH CBSA is used as the primary place of performance.
Active DoD Secret clearance is a hard gate; the posting also requires eligibility for IT-I Critical Sensitive / Tier 5 (T5) investigation, which is an additional suitability requirement beyond the clearance itself.
DoD 8570 IAT Level II is a hard gate. The posting lists two separate certification pools that must each be satisfied: one for IAT Level II (Security+ CE and peers) and one for CNDSP-IS (CEH and peers). These are modeled as two separate required skills with alternatives capturing each pool.
Computing Environment (CE) / DLP Administrator certification is required by the posting but framed as 'hands-on experience and/or certification' — the hard gate is demonstrated DLP platform administration experience; preferred certifications (SC-401, Forcepoint DLP Administrator, Proofpoint Certified DLP Specialist) are listed under a preferred section and marked accordingly.
Microsoft Purview SC-401 and Forcepoint DLP Administrator certifications appear under the preferred certifications section and are marked as preferred.
Microsoft SC-400, AZ-500, and SC-100 appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked as preferred.
Symantec DLP, Trellix, Digital Guardian, and Broadcom DLP appear under Preferred Qualifications as 'adjacent DLP platforms' and are marked as preferred.
SQL appears under Preferred Qualifications ('familiarity with SQL database environments') and is marked as preferred.
This position is contingent upon contract award; employment begins upon successful award and funding.

Requires a 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.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
