Description

Leidos has an opening for an Information System Security Officer (ISSO) located at Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona. To be eligible, candidates must already hold a current TS/SCI security clearance.

The selected ISSO will bring experienced and qualified personnel to deliver Cybersecurity support services, assisting both the ACC Cybersecurity Chief Information Security Officer and unit ISSOs in sustaining a robust cybersecurity program. This program is designed to support mission objectives while safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of AF IC information resources.

Primary Responsibilities:
  • Establish and maintain local unit Cybersecurity programs and security plans in accordance with ACC, AF, IC, and DoD guidance.
  • Collect data, assess compliance, and report findings on the status and development of:
    • Local unit Cybersecurity programs
    • Security plans
    • Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M)
    • Assessment and Authorization (A&A) workflow tools
    • Patch management
    • Information Assurance Vulnerability Alerts (IAVA)
    • DoD 8570.01M certifications
    • Federal Information System Modernization Act (FISMA) compliance
    • Authorizations to Operate (ATOs) Reports will be provided to unit leadership and higher headquarters (HHQs) as directed.
  • Collaborate with local units and HHQ IISMs to deliver Cybersecurity assessments, recommend courses of action, and propose solutions to commanders for enhancing their Cybersecurity programs.
  • Design and conduct on-the-job training for government civilians, contractors, and military personnel on a range of IT security tools, policies, and procedures necessary to protect resources and meet compliance standards.


Basic Qualifications:
  • Must currently possess an active TS/SCI security clearance.
  • Hold a Bachelor’s degree with 8+ years of relevant experience, or an Associate’s degree with 10+ years of relevant experience (additional experience may substitute for a degree).
  • IAT Level II certification is required.
  • Demonstrated expertise in Assessment and Authorization documentation, Cybersecurity assessments, and program-related tasks.
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience working with AF and IC plans and policies.


At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”

If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in.

Original Posting: September 5, 2025

For U.S. Positions: While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.

Pay Range: Pay Range $85,150.00 - $153,925.00

The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.
