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.
