• Support the implementation of Awin’s data classification programme -labelling policies, and classification coverage across all data environment where sensitive data is processed or stored.
• Own the implementation of DLP policies that prevent sensitive data from being shared, exported, or transmitted in breach of Awin’s confidentiality risk appetite. Define policy architecture, alert thresholds, and enforcement logic. Work with Internal IT on deployment and tuning, and maintain audit-ready records of DLP events and enforcement actions.
• Operationalise data security posture management tooling to provide visibility and control over how sensitive data flows to AI tools and third-party services. Ensure that AI data governance controls are technically enforceable, supporting Awin’s AI risk appetite statements and the requirements of the AI governance framework.
