Robert Half, in partnership with a global cybersecurity organisation, are recruiting for a Data Ring-Fencing Analyst to join the Enterprise Security Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) team. You will lead the technical execution of a global privacy strategy, ensuring data protection and compliance with GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and emerging data sovereignty laws. This role bridges legal/privacy requirements with technical enforcement, embedding Privacy by Design across the customer experience.

- Establish secure Data Clean Room protocols and controlled data-sharing pathways while minimising privacy risks
- Oversee the integration of:
- Micro-segmentation
- Identity & Access Management (IAM)
- Granular access controls
- Collaborate with DevOps and engineering teams to embed automated privacy safeguards in architecture and CI/CD pipelines
- Implement technical protections such as salting, hashing, tokenisation, and differential privacy
- Chair a dedicated Ring-Fencing Governance Board to monitor compliance and adjudicate access exceptions
- Develop "Enforcement Blueprints," audit templates, and evidence logs to support internal policies and external certifications (e.g., SOC2, ISO 27001)
- Maintain the Control Rationale registry, mapping technical configurations to global legal obligations
- Create training materials for developers and data scientists on Safe Zone protocols and risk mitigation
