Data Security / Insider Risk
Insider Risk Management Consultant
Insider Risk Management is a Microsoft Purview solution that detects, investigates and responds to risky internal activity — such as data theft, leaks or sabotage — using behavioural risk signals, while preserving employee privacy. I stand these programmes up so you catch genuine risk early and investigate it defensibly.
What I deliver
- —Insider risk policies built from Microsoft templates (e.g. data theft by departing users, data leaks)
- —Risk-indicator and triggering-event tuning to cut noise
- —Alert triage and case-investigation workflows
- —Adaptive Protection — dynamic risk levels that automatically drive DLP, Conditional Access and data-lifecycle controls
- —Communication Compliance for code-of-conduct and regulatory supervision
- —Information Barriers where roles must be kept apart
- —Privacy-by-design setup — pseudonymisation and role-scoped access to cases
Typical outcomes
- —Early detection of data exfiltration, especially around leavers
- —Defensible, well-documented investigations
- —Controls that scale with risk instead of punishing everyone
- —Employee trust preserved
How I work
Risk workshop → policy configuration → tuning → investigation runbooks → handover to SOC/compliance.
