• 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.
