About cybersecurity governance roles
Cybersecurity governance connects security control frameworks to business and regulatory risk, covering policy, risk assessment, and control assurance rather than hands-on operations. Roles like this one are typically evaluated against frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, and security risk and control-assurance practices.
How to position yourself for this cybersecurity governance role
Strong candidates emphasize security control frameworks, risk assessment, policy and standards, and translating technical security posture into governance and board-level reporting. In your resume and outreach, tie your experience to how AFELM US Space Command would apply NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, and security risk and control-assurance practices, and lead with concrete outcomes rather than duties.
