Data Classification information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in data classification?

To thrive in Data Classification, you need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a background in data management or information science, often supported by a relevant degree. Familiarity with data classification tools, data loss prevention (DLP) systems, and certifications such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) are commonly beneficial. Good communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills help you excel in collaborating with IT, compliance, and business teams. These competencies are critical for accurately categorizing data, maintaining security standards, and ensuring regulatory compliance across an organization.

What is a data classification?

A Data Classification job involves organizing and labeling data based on its sensitivity, importance, or type to ensure proper handling, security, and compliance. Professionals in this role categorize data according to predefined policies and frameworks, helping organizations safeguard sensitive information and optimize data management. They work closely with security, compliance, and IT teams to implement classification strategies and improve data governance.

What are the typical challenges faced in a data classification role?

A common challenge in Data Classification is accurately identifying and categorizing large volumes of diverse and sometimes ambiguous data, which requires both technical proficiency and critical thinking. Balancing the need for data accessibility with strict security and compliance requirements can also pose difficulties. Collaboration with various departments, such as IT and legal, is often necessary to implement organization-wide classification policies and ensure consistent practices. By staying up-to-date with data protection regulations and evolving technology, professionals in this role can effectively address these challenges and contribute significantly to their organization’s information security strategy.

Job description

Hi,
My name is Sam, and I am a Staffing Specialist at Venstar Technology Inc. I have an open opportunity that you may be a good fit for. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please get in touch with me as soon as possible at sam@venstartech.comwith your most recent resume, your ideal time and number for communication, and the expected pay rate for C2C/1099/W2.
Job Description:
Role: Senior DSPM Engineer (Individual Contributor)
Function: Cybersecurity / Information Security
Reports To: Leader, Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)
Location: Hybrid - (Phoenix, AZ)
Employment Type: Long-term Independent Contractor who can work on W2/1099
Role Overview
We are hiring a hands-on Senior DSPM Engineer to deliver the technical execution of our Data Security Posture Management program. Reporting to the DSPM Leader, this is an individual contributor role focused on deploying, configuring, integrating, tuning, and operating the DSPM toolchain-primarily Palo Alto Networks Cortex (Cortex XSIAM, Cortex Cloud, and Dig Security DSPM) and 1touch.io-to discover sensitive data, classify it, detect risk, and drive remediation across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments. You will live in the consoles every day: writing classifiers and policies, building integrations, triaging findings, automating workflows, and partnering with cloud, data, and SecOps teams to close issues at the source.
Key Responsibilities
  • Deploy, configure, and operate Palo Alto Networks Cortex (Cortex XSIAM, Cortex XDR, and Cortex Cloud) end-to-end-connectors, data ingestion, parsers, content packs, correlation rules, and dashboards.
  • Implement and run Dig Security (Palo Alto Cortex DSPM) for cloud data discovery, classification, Data Detection & Response (DDR), and posture remediation across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
  • Implement and operate 1touch.io for sensitive data discovery, classification, lineage, and identity-to-data mapping across structured, unstructured, semi-structured, and mainframe data sources.
  • Build and tune custom classifiers, policies, and detection rules to identify PII, PHI, PCI, financial data, secrets, and regulated content with low false-positive rates.
  • Onboard new cloud accounts, data stores (S3, RDS, Redshift, Blob, SQL, Cosmos, BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, etc.), SaaS apps, and on-prem sources into the DSPM platforms.
  • Triage DSPM findings (shadow data, public exposure, over-permissive access, sensitive-data movement, anomalies) and drive remediation with cloud, data, and application owners.
  • Build integrations and automations between Cortex, Dig, 1touch.io, SIEM/SOAR, ticketing (Jira/ServiceNow), and chat (Slack/Teams) using APIs, webhooks, and scripting (Python).
  • Author and maintain Cortex XSIAM XQL queries, XSOAR/XSIAM playbooks, and detection content tied to data-centric use cases (insider risk, ransomware, exfiltration, and misconfiguration).
  • Perform routine health checks, version upgrades, agent/sensor management, and capacity tuning of all DSPM platforms.
  • Document architectures, runbooks, standard operating procedures, and onboarding guides; act as the technical SME during audits, customer reviews, and incident response.
  • Partner with the DSPM Leader to translate the program roadmap into shippable technical deliverables and measurable risk reduction.

Required Qualifications & Skills
Must-Have Technical Experience
  • 5+ years in cybersecurity / cloud security / data security engineering, with the majority of recent time spent in hands-on technical delivery (not pure advisory or management).
  • Strong, hands-on production experience with Palo Alto Networks Cortex-at minimum two of: Cortex XSIAM, Cortex XDR, Cortex XSOAR, Cortex Cloud-including content development and integration work.
  • Hands-on experience implementing and operating Dig Security (Palo Alto Cortex DSPM) for cloud data discovery, classification, and DDR.
  • Hands-on experience implementing and operating 1touch.io for sensitive data discovery, classification, and data lineage / identity mapping.
  • Solid working knowledge of cloud data services across AWS, Azure, and GCP, plus IAM concepts (roles, policies, and identity federation) as they relate to data access.
  • Strong understanding of data classification, DLP concepts, and applicable regulations (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, PCI DSS).

Education & General Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Strong written and verbal communication; able to explain technical findings to engineers and to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Self-directed, detail-oriented, and comfortable owning technical workstreams from design through operations.

Core Competencies:
  • Practitioner mindset - happiest in the console, in the API, and in the data.
  • Bias for automation; you'd rather codify a fix than repeat a click.
  • Strong ownership: you see findings through to closure, not just detection.
  • Comfortable working closely with a leader and translating program goals into hands-on engineering work.

Thanks for your valuable time!!!
