Modern Policy Design: You know how to build security "rules" that are flexible, scalable, and easy to manage, rather than just assigning static permissions.
Compliance Automation: You have a track record of using automation to handle audits and security checks, keeping the business compliant without slowing down the team.
Strategic Leadership: You don’t just maintain the status quo; you’re comfortable guiding a team through the transition toward a more modern, policy-driven security posture.
