JOB DESCRIPTION:

We are looking for a passionate, action-oriented, and communicative data security professional with exceptional problem-solving skills, drive, and self-motivation to join the Data Security team, reporting to the Global Head of Security at Alter Domus. The incumbent will work alongside a geographically diverse team of security professionals focusing on setting up our Data Security Posture Management program and DLP controls.

A Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) analyst secures an organization's sensitive information across its entire digital ecosystem. This role combines proactive risk assessment (DSPM) with real-time enforcement (DLP) to protect data whether it is stored, in use, or in transit. The Senior Security professional works to discover, classify, and monitor sensitive data across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.

The incumbent will be part of the team directly identifying and eradicating risks to AlterDomus, partnering with the business counter parts to primarily rollout a DSPM platform, implement data tagging through business alignment, and to create and tune DLP policies in conjunction with the company’s risk profile.

Continuously monitor the data environment for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and non-compliant data handling practices.
Enforce the Principle of Least Privilege by analyzing and managing data access permissions and entitlements to minimize the attack surface.
Remediate identified data risks by automating or directing actions, such as adjusting permissions, quarantining critical assets, or encrypting information.
Provide visibility into the data security landscape by creating reports and dashboards for stakeholders.

Data Loss Prevention

Develop, configure, and maintain DLP policies and rules across various channels, including email, web, endpoints, and cloud applications.
Monitor DLP alerts and investigate potential data leakage incidents and policy violations.
Analyze DLP incidents to identify root causes and patterns of data exfiltration.
Perform tuning of DLP policies to reduce false positives and improve the accuracy of sensitive data detection.
Collaborate with incident response teams to contain and resolve data security incidents promptly.
Work with data owners and business units to understand their data handling needs and refine DLP policies accordingly.

Compliance and Strategy

Ensure the organization's data protection practices align with regulatory requirements, such as GDPR and DORA
Generate audit-ready reports and compliance assessments to demonstrate adherence to relevant standards.
Help define and contribute to the broader enterprise data protection strategy, considering the entire data lifecycle.
Educate employees and stakeholders on data security best practices to foster a security-conscious culture.
Stay up to date with emerging data security trends, threats, and technologies, including securing AI and LLM training data.
