  • Framework Familiarity: Working knowledge of SOC 2, HIPAA, CJIS, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, or similar frameworks.
  • Technical Knowledge: Understanding of cloud-native SaaS environments, microservices, VPCs/VPNs, and identity management concepts such as RBAC and MFA.
  • Detail-Oriented: You thrive on structure, accuracy, and organization - especially when managing documentation and multiple compliance tasks.
  • Collaborative & Curious: You enjoy learning from others, contributing to shared goals, and improving processes along the way.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
