Why we read it this way (11)
This is a 12-month contract engagement; no full-time offer is stated.
Candidates must be South Carolina residents — no relocation is permitted.
The role is hybrid: 3 days on-site in Columbia, SC and 2 days remote per week.
The posting states '05+ Years' of overall experience at the top, while the Required Skills section gates on '3+ years' for specific DLP/IRM/DSPM and alert-triage functions. The overall years minimum is set to 5 per the top-level gate.
A Bachelor's degree in a relevant field is listed but explicitly allows 'equivalent experience,' so no hard degree requirement is recorded.
CompTIA Security+ and GSEC are listed as required certifications and are treated as interchangeable alternatives satisfying the same gate.
SC-100, SC-200, CEH, and Associate CISSP appear under Preferred Certifications and are marked accordingly.
'Security alert triage' is retained as a skill because the JD explicitly gates on '3+ years of experience reviewing and triaging security alerts involving sensitive data' — it is a stated experience requirement, not a generic concept.
Cortex, Azure Security, IAM, Conditional Access, Microsoft Copilot security, and security automation/scripting all appear under the Preferred Skills section.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Insider Risk Management.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
