The Role

Key Responsibilities

1. Incident Review & Investigation

• Review, analyze, and validate DLP and CASB alerts escalated by L1 analysts, ensuring accurate triage and risk classification.
• Investigate potential cases of data exfiltration, misuse, or policy violations across multiple channels:
  
  
  • Email (O365, Exchange Online Protection, Gmail)
  • Endpoint (Device Agents, Removable Media)
  • Web/Cloud Applications (Box, OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Salesforce, etc.)
• Correlate events across systems (DLP, CASB, SIEM, and EDR) to identify multi-vector data leakage attempts.
• Escalate confirmed incidents with detailed context, evidence, and recommended containment actions to L3 SMEs or Incident Response teams.
• Participate in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for confirmed data leakage incidents and propose preventive actions.

2. Policy Management & Tuning

• Collaborate with DLP/CASB SMEs to fine-tune detection rules, thresholds, and patterns to reduce false positives while maintaining high detection fidelity.
• Implement rule and policy changes based on evolving business and regulatory requirements (typically 10-50 changes per month for CASB).
• Manage policy lifecycle processes, including testing, deployment, rollback, and documentation.
• Contribute to the development of custom detection patterns, data classifiers, and policy templates aligned with organizational data categories (PII, PCI, IP, etc.).
• Maintain synchronization and policy consistency across cloud and endpoint channels.

3. Platform Operations & Maintenance

• Monitor and ensure operational health and performance of DLP and CASB platforms (e.g., Forcepoint, Netskope, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Symantec, McAfee, or Palo Alto Prisma Access).
• Validate integration with SIEM and ITSM tools (e.g., ServiceNow, Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk) for alert ingestion, incident tracking, and reporting.
• Coordinate with OEM vendors and internal platform teams for:
  
  
  • Product patching and upgrades
  • Rule deployment validation
  • Performance tuning and incident troubleshooting
• Maintain system hygiene, ensuring agents, connectors, and sensors are active and updated across all endpoints and applications.
• Conduct periodic configuration reviews to validate coverage, data patterns, and rule logic.

4. Governance, Reporting & Compliance

• Maintain comprehensive incident logs, RCA records, and policy change documentation.
• Support creation of monthly dashboards, SLA reports, and KPI summaries related to DLP/CASB operations.
• Participate in governance forums, audit reviews, and client-facing reporting sessions to present performance trends, risk metrics, and improvement plans.
• Ensure data protection configurations align with compliance frameworks (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001).
• Collaborate with risk and compliance teams to align detection and response strategies with corporate data handling policies.

5. Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Work closely with L1 monitoring teams, providing guidance on triage, escalation, and classification best practices.
• Support cross-skilling initiatives and assist in developing and updating SOPs, knowledge base articles, and training materials.
• Participate in threat modelling and data exfiltration use case development to enhance proactive detection and prevention capabilities.
• Identify and recommend automation opportunities for incident enrichment, false-positive suppression, and report generation.
