- Build and operate scalable PAM processes for onboarding/offboarding, approvals, periodic access reviews, credential lifecycle management, and incident response for privileged misuse.
- Strengthen regulatory readiness by ensuring auditability and evidence generation aligned to frameworks such as HIPAA, SOC 2, and NIST.
- Partner with Identity, Infrastructure, Cloud, and DevOps teams to integrate PAM into CIEM, ITSM, and automation workflows, reducing standing privileges and hard-coded secrets.
