through remediation, and ensuring data security policies are effectively
enforced. The analyst serves as a technical escalation point from L1 and
collaborates closely with the Security Operations Center, Incident Response, Compliance,
teams to protect sensitive organizational data from unauthorized access,
leakage, or exfiltration.

The ideal candidate
brings deep hands-on expertise with industry-leading DLP platforms and
demonstrates the ability to independently manage the full DLP lifecycle from
policy creation and tuning to alert investigation, incident response, and
stakeholder reporting with minimal supervision.

●    Monitor
and investigate DLP alerts across cloud, email, endpoint, OT, and USB/removable
media channels on a day-to-day basis.

●    Perform
end-to-end DLP incident handling: triage, investigation, root cause analysis,
containment, remediation, and closure.

●    Classify
incidents by severity and data sensitivity, escalate critical incidents to the
Stakeholders or management per defined SLAs

●    Correlate
DLP findings with identity, endpoint, and cloud telemetry to establish full
incident context and impact.

●    Maintain
accurate, detailed documentation of investigations, timelines, and remediation
actions.

●    Prepare
regular DLP operational reports covering alert volumes, incident trends, false
positive rates, and policy effectiveness

●    Participate
in post-incident reviews and contribute to lessons-learned and improvement
initiatives

●    Design,
create, and refine DLP policies covering cloud (CASB), email, endpoint, and
OT/industrial environments.

●    Tune
existing DLP policies to reduce false positives, improve detection accuracy,
and align with evolving business requirements

●    Any
vendor-specific DLP certifications (Netskope, Forcepoint, Varonis, Palo Alto)

●    Deep understanding of cloud, email, endpoint,
OT, and removable media DLP mechanisms, detection logic, and coverage gaps.

●    Ability to independently create, tune,
maintain, and govern DLP policies aligned to regulatory and business
requirements

●    Experience driving DLP incidents end-to-end:
from initial detection through containment, user engagement, and formal closure

●    Solid grasp of data classification tiers,
sensitive data types (PII, PCI, PHI, IP), and their handling obligations

●    Ability to correlate data signals across
multiple tools and telemetry sources to reconstruct incident timelines and
identify root cause

●    Effective communication skills for technical
and non-technical stakeholders 

●    Ability to work in a 24x7 rotational shift
