Job summary

THAKRAL ONE PTE LTD is seeking a DLP Technical Specialist to enhance the APAC Data Loss Prevention control environment. You will bridge information‑risk requirements and technical implementation, translating complex protections into practical, risk‑based DLP controls.

You will identify HVAs, translate them into detection methodologies, tune policies, and collaborate with risk, business, and engineering teams to ensure effective monitoring and governance across APAC.

Qualifications

• 5–8 years of experience in DLP, information protection, information security, data protection, technology risk, or related discipline.
• Strong experience with Microsoft Purview DLP, including policy design, requirements, testing, tuning, and effectiveness assessment.
• Knowledge of DLP coverage across email, endpoint, web, and other channels.
• Experience handling HVAs and designing/tuning/testing DLP policies, SITs, classifiers, labels, or document‑fingerprinting approaches.

Responsibilities

• Engage business and control functions to identify and inventory potential HVAs such as audit reports, regulatory inspection materials, infrastructure diagrams, security documentation, source code, and other sensitive information.
• Analyse existing HVA submissions and rationalise overly broad or granular classifications.
• Develop consistent criteria for identifying and categorising HVAs suitable for DLP monitoring across APAC offices.
• Translate HVAs into technically implementable detection methodologies (keywords, dictionaries, sensitivity labels, classifiers).
• Assess false‑positive and false‑negative implications before implementation and support controlled testing and tuning.
• Establish traceability from identified information risk or HVA through to DLP detection logic, control response, and monitoring.
• Act as the bridge between business/risk requirements and technical implementation.
• Understand Microsoft Purview DLP concepts including policies, rules, conditions, exceptions, Sensitive Information Types, sensitivity labels, and policy tips.
• Analyse DLP alerts and rule performance to identify areas for tuning and enhancement.
• Understand information flows across email, endpoints, and other relevant transmission channels.
• Facilitate discussions between business stakeholders and technical engineers where requirements cannot be implemented directly.
• Challenge impractical or overly broad requirements that may cause business disruption.
• Assist in determining appropriate control responses such as monitoring, user warning, justification, blocking, or escalation.
• Document business and functional requirements for translation into technical configuration.
• Support strategic DLP transformation initiatives, including enabling smooth implementation of Phase 3 Microsoft Purview DLP for in‑scope countries.
• Maintain clear project documentation and audit trails.
• Coordinate working groups and stakeholder meetings to drive follow‑up actions.
