Summary Generated by Built In

CyberSheath Services International LLC is a rapidly growing Managed Services Provider primarily focused on providing Cybersecurity services to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). We are excited to be expanding our staff due to our growth and are looking to add an additional Compliance Analyst to our team! 

CyberSheath integrates compliance and threat mitigation efforts and eliminates redundant security practices that don’t improve and, in fact, may weaken an organization’s security posture. Our professionals tell clients where to stop spending, where to invest, and how to take what they are already doing and integrate it in a way that delivers improved security.  

Successful candidates for CyberSheath are self-motivated, think out of the box, work, and solve issues independently. Additionally, our most successful people are self-starters and willing to put on many hats in order to succeed. CyberSheath is fast-growing and seeks candidates who want to be part of our upward trajectory. 


What You Will Do
Assessment Support

  • Gather, organize, and review evidence for NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC assessments
  • Prepare assessment workbooks and supporting materials for analysts
  • Review policies, system screenshots, logs, and configurations for completeness
  • Assist with requirement mapping, accuracy checks, and evidence validation
  • Draft structured notes for assessment objectives under guidance

Documentation Preparation

  • Draft SSP narratives based on interviews and evidence
  • Draft POAM entries with direction from senior team members
  • Maintain version control and internal documentation organization
  • Help improve internal templates, SOPs, and reference materials

Technical and Process Verification

  • Assist with CUI flow mapping across systems, users, and processes
  • Conduct structured research on controls, technologies, and implementation patterns

Operational Support

  • Maintain organized evidence repositories
  • Support long-term client work under the direction of analysts and senior analysts
  • Contribute to improving consistency and quality of deliverables


Who Thrives Here
You will succeed in this role if you are:

  • Curious and comfortable learning technical concepts
  • Organized and reliable
  • Analytical and able to follow logic
  • Receptive to coaching and feedback
  • Comfortable working in a process-driven environment

  • Technical writers who have documented systems, engineering processes, IT procedures, or classified program workflows and who demonstrate strong analytical skill
  • Military veterans with IT, cyber, comms, or intelligence backgrounds

Experience in the Defense Industrial Base is a plus but not required.
Required Skills

  • Clear, professional writing
  • Ability to follow structured processes
  • Foundational understanding of IT systems such as Active Directory, MFA, patching, Windows security, or similar
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Ability to learn frameworks and requirements through training

What We Do

CyberSheath is one of the industry’s few one-stop cybersecurity compliance service providers, going beyond assessment and software licensing to solve he whole problem. We help your organization achieve and maintain full compliance with DOD requirements at the appropriate level, with a minimum amount of pain.

CyberSheath staff members have been working with the DOD on DFARS-related issues since 2008, initially as a part of the Defense Industrial Base — Cyber Security Initiative (DIB-CSI). As a leader of that initiative, CyberSheath CEO Eric Noonan helped draft the first DFARS clause issued in 2013 and every subsequent update.

Cybersecurity compliance is all we do. With more than 600 NIST 800-171 assessments and implementations successfully completed for DOD contractors, we can help you cut through the confusion of NIST 800-171 and guarantee complete, ongoing and fully documented compliance.
