• Design and deploy audit logging, monitoring, and event correlation with SIEM/SOAR platforms
• Support migration from legacy password vaults or static key stores to centralized secrets management platforms
• Oversee performance tuning, disaster recovery, and lifecycle management for enterprise secrets management services

Security & Compliance

• Ensure secrets management aligns with corporate and regulatory compliance standards (SOX, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53)
• Conduct threat modeling and risk assessments for secret exposure and credential misuse scenarios
• Partner with audit and compliance teams to demonstrate control effectiveness and continuous compliance
