Incident Response & Forensics Participate in the investigation, containment, eradication, and recovery phases of security incidents. Document incident timelines, findings, and lessons learned in structured post-incident reports. Support forensic data collection and preservation following confirmed incidents. Maintain and update the Incident Response Playbooks tailored to M365 and Azure threat scenarios. Compliance & Policy Support compliance with relevant regulations and frameworks applicable to Nigerian financial institutions (e.g., CBN Cybersecurity Framework, NDPR, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS where applicable). Assist with internal and external security audits by gathering evidence and coordinating remediation actions. Maintain up-to-date security documentation, policies, standards, and procedures. Endpoint & Email Security Manage Microsoft Defender for Endpoint policies — onboarding, configuration, and response actions.
