Job Title: Data Security & DLP Architect experience with Microsoft Purview Varonis and Collibra
location: Remote
Duration: 6+ Months
We CGI is looking for a Data Security & DLP Architect to be its technical center of gravity.
In this client facing role you will verify the discovery baseline, specify the classifiers that client administrators build against, direct the Proof of Value, correlate findings from two independent scanning engines (Microsoft Purview and Varonis), and produce the enterprise deployment design
Required qualifications to be successful in this role:
At least 10+ years in Data security architecture with hands on, configuration level depth in data discovery, classification, and DLP.
. Direct working experience with Microsoft Purview: custom sensitive information types and rule packages, trainable classifiers, Exact Data Match, sensitivity labels, auto labeling policies (including simulation mode), and DLP policy design.
. Direct working experience with Varonis: classification rule construction, FileWalk and event collection, effective permissions analysis, and the operational realities of scanning a large NAS estate.
. Demonstrated ability to write a classifier specification that a client administrator can build from dictionaries, patterns, proximity, thresholds, confidence tiers, and false positive guards.
. Ability to assess a data catalog platform (e.g., Collibra) at configuration and adoption level: deployment state, metadata model, integration with discovery output, and whether the catalog is actually used rather than merely installed.
. Breadth across the wider data protection tool estate CASB (Defender for Cloud Apps), secure web gateway (Zscaler), email protection (Proofpoint), and backup platforms sufficient to assess configuration and adoption maturity and write defensible gap recommendations.
. Experience developing custom classifiers for domain specific content regulated, technical, or operational material for which no vendor detector exists.
. Microsoft certification in information protection and compliance (SC 400 or equivalent) and Varonis product training.
