• Contribute to Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) efforts by helping discover where sensitive data resides, who has access to it, and whether it is properly protected
• Partner on data security governance activities, including policy alignment, exception handling, metrics, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Support audit and regulatory responses (e.g., evidence gathering, control mapping, and issue remediation) in collaboration with Risk, Privacy, and Corporate Security stakeholders
• Help define and track KPIs and KRIs to provide visibility into data security effectiveness, coverage, and risk trends
