- Configure and maintain SSO (Single Sign-On) and SCIM provisioning integrations between identity providers (Google) and SaaS applications to automate the user lifecycle

- Contribute to security audit recommendations and ensure remediation actions are tracked, implemented, and evidenced for internal and external auditors
Cybersecurity Operations & DLP
- Validate the cybersecurity posture of all new SaaS applications prior to onboarding (SSO, MFA, data residency, DPA) and ensure secure offboarding (data deletion, credential revocation, audit evidence)
- Run quarterly access recertification campaigns across all 100+ applications; engage application owners and managers to confirm, modify, or revoke access rights, and document remediation outcomes
- Monitor and analyze Microsoft 365 security logs on a daily basis: Entra ID sign-in risk, conditional access failures, MFA anomalies, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint/Identity alerts, and Microsoft Purview DLP incidents
- Monitor Google Workspace security logs: Admin Console audit trail, Alert Center events, login anomalies, Drive external sharing violations, OAuth token activity, and DLP rule triggers
