  • Discover and classify sensitive data and implement sensitivity labels, encryption, secure-sharing controls, and other information protection measures.
  • Configure, test, and tune data loss prevention policies to improve control effectiveness, reduce false positives, and manage exceptions.
  • Monitor data protection alerts and investigate potential data exposure, inappropriate sharing, policy violations, or suspected data exfiltration. Coordinate remediation and escalation when needed.
  • Partner with data owners and technology teams to identify sensitive information, understand how it is accessed and shared, and remediate oversharing or inappropriate access.
  • Translate business, privacy, legal, and data governance requirements into technical data protection controls.
  • Support retention, records management, and secure information-sharing requirements through data protection technologies and controls.
  • Apply least-privilege and identity-based safeguards to sensitive data in partnership with Identity and Access Management teams.
  • Support the continued development of the data protection program, including documentation, platform improvements, metrics, reporting, runbooks, and user guidance.
  • Contribute to automation and emerging data protection capabilities, including artificial intelligence data-security controls, as the program evolves.

Ingredients Required for Your Success 

  • Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
  • Three or more years of enterprise technology experience, including at least two years in cybersecurity, data protection, data governance, or a related area.
  • Hands-on experience administering, configuring, or supporting an enterprise data protection or data loss prevention platform such as Microsoft Purview, Varonis, Proofpoint Data Loss Prevention, or comparable technology.
  • Experience with sensitive-data discovery, classification, sensitivity labeling, or related information protection controls.
  • Working knowledge of the data loss prevention policy lifecycle, such as policy configuration, testing, tuning, alert investigation, exception handling, and remediation.
  • Working knowledge of data protection and governance concepts, including secure information sharing, retention, or records management.
  • Working knowledge of identity and access concepts, including least privilege and access-related data protection risks.
  • Strong troubleshooting, analytical, problem-solving, organizational, written, and verbal communication skills, including communicating technical risks and recommendations to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience working independently and collaboratively within a matrixed organization.
  • Hands-on Microsoft Purview experience preferred.
  • Experience with Varonis, Proofpoint Data Loss Prevention, or other enterprise data discovery and protection technologies preferred.
  • Experience protecting data across cloud, on-premises, endpoint, email, and software-as-a-service environments preferred.
  • Experience supporting privileged access management, identity governance, or other identity-based security controls preferred.
  • Experience with PowerShell, Python, REST APIs, connectors, workflow automation, or other security automation technologies preferred.
  • Experience supporting insider-risk, data-exposure, or data-exfiltration investigations preferred.
  • Familiarity with Zero Trust, National Institute of Standards and Technology, International Organization for Standardization 27001, or similar security frameworks preferred.
  • Relevant certification in information security, data protection, cloud security, governance, or identity preferred.
  • Exposure to data protection controls for artificial intelligence applications, agents, or other emerging artificial intelligence technologies preferred.
