• Cybersecurity Compliance and Requirements Mapping
  • Interpret relevant cybersecurity regulations, standards, and frameworks, including GDPR, NIS2, DORA, ISO/IEC 27001, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
  • Translate regulatory and security requirements into practical technical controls, configurations, capabilities, and supporting evidence.
  • Map cybersecurity solutions to customer-specific control requirements, helping organizations understand how available capabilities can support their security and compliance programs.
  • Create, maintain, and update compliance mapping documents, control matrices, and technical documentation that demonstrate alignment between security requirements and product capabilities.
  • Help customers assess how security technologies can support threat prevention, endpoint detection and response, incident investigation, vulnerability and exposure management, security logging, automated remediation, and continuous monitoring.
  • Explain how cybersecurity capabilities contribute to operational resilience, security testing, incident response, and the collection of evidence for internal or external assessments.
  • Collaborate with internal technical teams to validate product capabilities and ensure that compliance-related explanations are accurate and aligned with available functionality.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing
  • Work closely with Sales, Post-Sales, Product, Research and Development, Support, Security, and other internal stakeholders to deliver effective customer solutions.
