• Security Compliance Monitoring: Monitor and track compliance with security policies and procedures, conducting periodic audits and assessments to ensure adherence to established security standards.
• Secure Network Architecture: Design and implement secure network architectures, segmenting critical data and systems from less sensitive resources to minimize attack surfaces and potential impact.
• Security Incident Investigation: Lead investigations into security breaches, identifying the root cause and recommending preventive measures to enhance security posture.
• Data Protection and Privacy: Implement data protection measures, encryption techniques, and privacy controls to safeguard sensitive data and comply with relevant data protection regulations.
