We are looking for a DLP & Insider Threat Specialist to help our client assess, design, and implement a comprehensive insider threat and data loss prevention capability.

• Develop operational processes for insider threat detection, triage, escalation, investigation, and response.

• Build awareness and training programs to mitigate the human element of insider threats.

• Establish KPIs, reporting mechanisms, and integration with existing SIEM/SOC operations.

• Collaborate with HR, Legal, and IT to ensure processes respect privacy and regulatory guidelines.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• 8+ years of cybersecurity experience, with at least 2–3 years focused on DLP or Insider Threat programs.

• Proven experience designing and operationalising DLP and insider threat capabilities in medium to large organisations.

• Strong understanding of regulatory and privacy considerations in employee monitoring (especially across jurisdictions like the EU and US).

• Knowledge of behavioural analytics and data classification strategies.

• Experience with tools like Microsoft Purview, Symantec DLP, Forcepoint, or other leading platforms.

• Familiarity with the risks unique to gambling and gaming companies—such as insider betting, IP theft, and customer data leakage—is highly desirable.

• Excellent analytical, stakeholder engagement, and documentation skills.
