[Hiring] Windows 11 Security Hardening Remediation Specialist @Randstad

Role Description

Are you a Windows 11 Specialist with 5+ years of experience configuring Hardening Standard review, and developing/implementing robust hardening policies across endpoint layers-bridging the gap between core OS configurations, specialized applications, and database layers? Our Alberta-based Financial client is seeking a Windows 11 Specialist for a 6 month contract.

Responsibilities include:

  • Lead and execute critical security hardening and remediation efforts.
  • Perform comprehensive gap analyses.
  • Collaborate with Cybersecurity Governance on the Configuration Hardening Standard review.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Gap Analysis & Assessment: Conduct a deep-dive gap analysis of the current Windows fleet against Cybersecurity Governance Hardening Standards.
  • Policy Development: Work with subject matter experts, security, and governance teams to derive hardened configuration baseline documentation in alignment with the Configuration Hardening Standard.
  • Technical Implementation: Author, refine, and maintain Group Policy Objects (GPOs), configuration profiles, and PowerShell remediation scripts.
  • Up-the-Stack Integration: Ensure Windows 11 endpoint security configurations seamlessly align with the hardening requirements of specialized local applications, databases, and refined port/protocol management.
  • Remediation Execution: Lead the phased rollout of OS-level hardening configurations across the enterprise, minimizing user disruption while maximizing defensive posture.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with the Windows Engineering, Identity & Access Management (IAM), and Cybersecurity Governance teams to ensure compliance.

Qualifications

  • Network Fundamentals: Solid understanding of ports, protocols, and services management to support the project's network-layer scope.
  • Analytical Mindset: Ability to translate complex compliance documents (like a Governance Standard) into technical, actionable engineering requirements.
  • Communication: Strong documentation skills for creating hardening standards, change management plans, and remediation playbooks.

Requirements

  • OS Expertise: Deep technical knowledge of Windows enterprise security architecture (e.g., Credential Guard, Virtualization-based Security, BitLocker).
  • Unified Endpoint Management (UEM): Advanced experience managing and deploying security policies via unified endpoint management platforms, including Omnissa Workspace One or Active Directory GPOs.
  • Automation: Proficiency in PowerShell for writing automated remediation and compliance-checking scripts.
  • Security Frameworks: Strong familiarity with CIS Benchmarks, NIST SP 800-53, or DISA STIGs specifically mapped to Microsoft environments.

Benefits

  • Pay Rate: between $63-79/hr INC.
