Responsibilities

Administer and continuously tune DLP policies/rules to reduce risky data movement while minimizing false positives and business disruption.
Investigate and respond to DLP alerts, validate severity, identify the data and pathway involved, and drive incident handling to resolution.
Partner with stakeholders to refine data classification, detection logic, and control coverage across common exfil paths (email, web uploads, endpoints/USB, cloud sharing, collaboration platforms).
Build and improve DLP-related playbooks, workflows, and response standards (triage steps, evidence collection, escalation paths, and post-incident improvements).
Monitor user activity signals (identity, endpoint, email, collaboration tools, cloud activity, etc.) to identify suspicious behavior and potential insider risk.
Lead low to moderate-complexity investigations involving data misuse/exfiltration, policy violations, fraud indicators, or compromised accounts, and escalate higher-risk cases with strong evidence and timelines.
Produce high-quality documentation: investigation notes, evidence packages, root cause summaries, and stakeholder-ready reports.
