• REST/SOAP APIs, message brokers, middleware platforms
• NIST SP 800-53 CA-3 and assessor evaluation criteria for interconnections

Core Responsibilities

• Execute interconnection discovery, classification, and documentation across Knox, Kyndryl, SaaS, and external partner environments
• Translate technical architecture into compliance-relevant ISA documentation for 248 in-scope applications
• Anticipate interconnection documentation needs before migration waves occur; ensure ISA treatment is not a boundary-entry blocker

• Apply ISA applicability criteria as finalized with Coalfire; operate with incomplete direction when necessary
