  • \n
  • Working knowledge of DSPM concepts and tooling.
  • \n
  • Experience securing SaaS and collaboration platforms (Slack, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace) and managing their DLP and retention settings.
  • \n
  • Solid understanding of records retention, legal hold, and eDiscovery and how they connect to technical controls.
  • \n
  • Exposure to AI governance or protecting data shared with generative AI tools is highly valued.
