Key Responsibilities
A. Functional and Technical
- Design, implement, configure, and administer enterprise DLP solutions (e.g., Microsoft Purview DLP, Symantec/Broadcom, Forcepoint, Trellix, Netskope, Zscaler) across endpoint, network, email, web, and cloud channels, ensuring alignment with industry regulations and standards
- Build, test, and deploy DLP policies and detection logic — custom classifiers, regular expressions (Regex), keyword dictionaries, Sensitive Information Types (SITs), Exact Data Matching (EDM), Indexed Document Matching (IDM), and document fingerprinting — including scoped policy targeting, rule conditions, exceptions, and enforcement actions (audit, block, notify, restrict)
- Design, publish, and manage sensitivity labels (Microsoft Purview Information Protection / MIP): label taxonomy design, label policies and scoping, encryption and content-marking settings, container labels for Teams/SharePoint/Microsoft 365 Groups, and label-based DLP policy conditions
- Configure and operate auto-labeling at scale — client-side and service-side auto-labeling policies for Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive; simulation mode testing, tuning label-match accuracy with SITs and trainable classifiers, and monitoring label adoption, label analytics, and mislabeling trends
- Enforce downstream protection based on labels — label-driven DLP rules, conditional access to labeled content, and label inheritance/handling in AI tools (e.g., ensuring Copilot and other GenAI assistants honor sensitivity labels and encryption on protected content)
- Perform continuous rule tuning and policy optimization: analyze DLP events, validate true vs. false positives, document findings, and iteratively refine detection to improve accuracy and reduce alert noise
- Manage the DLP platform end to end — agent deployment, upgrades, health monitoring, coverage gap analysis, and maintenance of management/detection server infrastructure
- Design and build automated workflows using Microsoft Power Automate and Azure Logic Apps for DLP alert routing, enrichment, user notifications, approval workflows, incident ticket creation (ServiceNow/Jira), automated remediation actions, and compliance reporting processes
- Extend DLP coverage and governance to AI and GenAI channels — monitor and control sensitive data flowing into AI tools and assistants such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio agents, Claude, ChatGPT, and other LLM/GenAI applications, using Purview DLP for AI apps, browser/endpoint controls, and CASB policies to prevent data leakage through prompts, uploads, and AI-generated outputs
- Integrate DLP tooling with the broader security and productivity ecosystem — SIEM/SOAR (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel), email gateways, proxies, CASB, Active Directory / Entra ID, CMDB, Insider Risk Management, and AI platforms via APIs and connectors (including Copilot and Claude enterprise integrations) for alert triage assistance, event summarization, and reporting automation
- Write and maintain scripts and automation (PowerShell, Python, REST APIs, Graph API) for policy deployment, dictionary and user-ID updates, health checks, and scheduled compliance reporting
- Support data discovery and classification at rest — scanning file shares, databases, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and cloud repositories to locate, classify, and protect sensitive data
- Act as Tier 2/3 escalation for DLP incidents: investigate potential data exfiltration, coordinate containment and remediation with SOC/IR teams, and contribute DLP telemetry to insider threat monitoring
- Write and optimize KQL queries across Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR Advanced Hunting, and Purview audit logs to investigate DLP incidents, hunt for exfiltration behavior, correlate DLP/label/user activity, and build custom analytics rules, dashboards, and workbooks
- Develop metrics and dashboards related to the data protection program's status, performance, and maturity (policy coverage, alert volumes, false-positive rates, violation trends) for leadership, audit, and compliance stakeholders; maintain runbooks, SOPs, and architecture documentation
- Partner with legal, privacy, compliance, and business data owners to translate regulatory requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX) into enforceable technical controls, including AI acceptable-use enforcement
- Stay current with industry trends and advancements in data security and DLP technologies — including developments in Microsoft Purview, AI-driven data protection, and GenAI data governance — and make recommendations for improvements to existing systems and controls
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience
- 3–5 years of experience in information security / security engineering, including 2+ years of hands-on DLP administration and engineering in an enterprise environment
- Proven hands-on expertise with at least one major enterprise DLP platform: Microsoft Purview DLP, Symantec/Broadcom DLP, Forcepoint DLP, Trellix DLP, Netskope, or Zscaler
- Hands-on experience with Microsoft Purview Information Protection — sensitivity labels and auto-labeling: label taxonomy and policy design, service-side and client-side auto-labeling, simulation/tuning, trainable classifiers, encryption and content-marking configuration, and integrating labels with DLP policy enforcement
- Working experience building automation with Power Automate and/or Azure Logic Apps (flows, connectors, approvals, HTTP/API actions) in a security or IT operations context
- Hands-on configuration and integration experience — setting up and managing connectors between DLP platforms and adjacent systems: SIEM connectors (Microsoft Sentinel data connectors, Splunk add-ons/HEC, syslog/CEF forwarding), SOAR and ticketing connectors (ServiceNow, Jira), AI agent and LLM connectors (Copilot / Copilot Studio plugins, Claude and Azure OpenAI API integrations, custom Power Platform connectors), CASB integrations, and Graph API/webhook-based event feeds — including authentication setup (OAuth, service principals, API keys), permission scoping, and connector health monitoring
- Exposure to securing and integrating AI/GenAI tools — Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness and data governance, DLP for AI applications, and API-based integrations with LLM platforms such as Copilot, Claude (Anthropic), or Azure OpenAI; understanding of prompt-level data leakage risks
- Working knowledge of KQL (Kusto Query Language) — writing and optimizing queries in Microsoft Sentinel, Defender Advanced Hunting, and Purview Audit/Activity Explorer to investigate DLP alerts, hunt for data exfiltration patterns, correlate label/DLP events, and build custom detections, workbooks, and reports
- Proficiency in writing Regular Expressions (Regex) for sensitive data pattern detection and content inspection rule development
- Scripting skills in PowerShell and/or Python; comfort with REST and Microsoft Graph APIs
- Strong grasp of data protection concepts: classification, data-at-rest/in-motion/in-use controls, encryption, access controls, content inspection, EDM/IDM/fingerprinting
- Solid networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, HTTP/S, SMTP, TLS, DNS, proxies) and understanding of how data moves across email, web, endpoint, and cloud channels
