Lead annual access certification campaigns; design segregation-of-duties (SoD) matrices for finance, research IP, and fab operations; remediate violations with automated deprovisioning. Integrate IAM with SOAR for automated incident response: isolate compromised identities, force MFA reset, and quarantine devices via Intune/Endpoint Manager. Produce executive dashboards (Power BI, Entra ID reports) on identity hygiene metrics: orphan accounts, stale privileges, MFA adoption, and certification completion; support CMMC, NIST 800-171, and audit evidence. Conduct red-team validated privilege escalation exercises; harden GPOs, LDAP signing, Kerberos armoring, and Entra ID app consent policies. Author and enforce identity policies, standards, and procedures aligned to NIST 800-63B, NIST 800-53 AC/IA families, CIS AD benchmarks, and CMMC 2.0 IA.L2-3.5.x controls.
