DLP Security Specialist
We are seeking a DLP Security Specialist to help protect sensitive information across endpoints, networks, cloud services and corporate applications. The successful candidate will be responsible for the design, implementation, monitoring and continual improvement of data loss prevention controls, ensuring that confidential, personal and regulated data is handled securely and in line with internal policies and applicable regulatory requirements.
Key responsibilities include developing and maintaining DLP policies, rules and detection mechanisms; investigating and responding to data protection alerts; tuning controls to minimise false positives; and carrying out detailed analysis of incidents involving unauthorised access, transmission, copying or disclosure of information. You will work closely with security operations, infrastructure, identity, legal, compliance and business teams to assess risks, coordinate remediation and support investigations. The role will also involve monitoring data flows, reviewing DLP events and reports, contributing to security incident response, documenting procedures and preparing management information on trends, risks and control effectiveness. You may also support data classification initiatives, security awareness activities, control testing and the secure onboarding of new technologies.
Applicants should have proven experience in data loss prevention, information security or a closely related field, with practical knowledge of DLP technologies and security monitoring platforms. You will be comfortable working with endpoint, email, web, network and cloud data protection controls, and have an understanding of data classification, encryption, access management, incident response and information governance. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to interpret technical events, identify root causes and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Experience with scripting, automation, security frameworks and relevant privacy or security standards would be advantageous. Professional certifications in information security, privacy or risk management are desirable.
