Assist in disposition reviews and lifecycle management scenarios. * Insider Risk & Compliance Monitoring: Assist in configuring Insider Risk Management, Communication Compliance and audit / eDiscovery use cases, and help operational teams interpret the resulting signals. * Integration with the Microsoft Security Stack: Configure the interactions between Purview and Defender for Cloud Apps, Defender for Endpoint and Microsoft Entra, contributing to an end-to-end Defender XDR data protection story. * Documentation & Handover: Produce clear design documents, configuration baselines, runbooks and knowledge transfer material so that customer teams can operate the solution after go-live. * Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with customer stakeholders (IT, Security, Legal, DPO, Compliance) as well as internal NVISO teams to gather requirements, validate designs and demo solutions. * Support & Continuous Improvement: Provide second-line support on Purview deployments, be familiar8 with the Microsoft Purview roadmap and related technologies and continuously improve the delivery approach and reusable material. ## Related Videos - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [JavaScript?
