      Description

      Centex Technologies seeks a skilled Cybersecurity Compliance Analyst to augment ISO audit operations across multiple program enclaves.

      This hybrid position focuses on pre-audit preparation, evidence gathering, compliance documentation, and collaborative support for organizations pursuing NIST 800-171 and CMMC certification objectives.
