Michael Givan Email & Phone Number

With 21 years of experience in security operations and compliance, I am a dedicated and highly skilled Special Security Officer at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), a contractor of Akima. My core competencies include security clearance administration, risk assessment, access control, and incident response. My mission is to protect and safeguard classified information and SCIF facilities from any threats or breaches. I am passionate about collaborating with various agencies, conducting security training, and ensuring compliance with government regulations and agency policies. I bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, as I am transitioning from the military and pursuing a degree in Computer and Information Systems Security.As a Security Specialist Representative (SSR) III at Akima, I have a proven track record in managing and maintaining top-level security protocols for DTRA. I have successfully handled multiple security incidents, audits, and inspections, and implemented corrective actions and preventive measures. I have also facilitated the security clearance process for over 200 personnel, and provided security education and awareness to over 500 staff members. I have demonstrated my proficiency in cybersecurity, security compliance, and security operations by obtaining the CompTIA Security+ and the Green Belt certifications, and becoming an ISC2 Candidate. I am always eager to learn new skills and technologies, and to apply them to enhance the security posture of the organization.
