Cyber Blue Compliance

RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is the most widely deployed asymmetric cryptographic algorithm, used for digital signatures, key exchange, and encryption. This skill covers generating, storing, rotating,

Automates the Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) workflow including data flow mapping, privacy risk scoring matrices, GDPR Article 35 DPIA and CCPA/CPRA alignment checks, data inventory cataloging, and remediation tracking. Implements the NIST Privacy Framework PRAM methodology and ICO DPIA guidance for systematic identification and mitigation of privacy risks across processing activities. Use when conducting privacy assessments for new systems, evaluating regulatory compliance posture, or building automated privacy governance programs.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0, released in February 2024, provides a comprehensive taxonomy for managing cybersecurity risk through six core Functions - Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. This skill covers conducting a maturity assessment against the CSF using Implementation Tiers to measure organizational cybersecurity posture and create improvement roadmaps.

Automates SOC 2 Type II audit preparation including gap assessment against AICPA Trust Services Criteria (CC1-CC9), evidence collection from cloud providers and identity systems, control testing validation, remediation tracking, and continuous compliance monitoring. Covers all five TSC categories (Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, Privacy) with automated evidence gathering from AWS, Azure, GCP, Okta, GitHub, and Jira. Use when preparing for or maintaining SOC 2 Type II certification.

Builds a structured vulnerability scanning workflow using tools like Nessus, Qualys, and OpenVAS to discover, prioritize, and track remediation of security vulnerabilities across infrastructure. Use when SOC teams need to establish recurring vulnerability assessment processes, integrate scan results with SIEM alerting, and build remediation tracking dashboards.

Implement automated user provisioning and deprovisioning using SCIM 2.0 protocol with Okta as the identity provider.

Monitors Certificate Transparency (CT) logs to detect unauthorized certificate issuance, discover subdomains via CT data, and alert on suspicious certificate activity for owned domains. Uses the crt.sh API and direct CT log querying based on RFC 6962 to build continuous monitoring pipelines that catch rogue certificates, track CA behavior, and map the external attack surface. Activates for requests involving certificate transparency monitoring, CT log auditing, subdomain discovery via certificates, or certificate issuance alerting.

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC form the three pillars of email authentication. Together they prevent domain spoofing, validate message integrity, and define policies for handling unauthenticated mail. Proper im

Build an append-only log integrity chain using SHA-256 hash chaining for tamper detection. Each log entry is hashed with the previous entry's hash to create a blockchain-like structure where modifying any entry invalidates all subsequent hashes. Implements log ingestion, chain verification, tamper detection with pinpoint identification, and periodic checkpoint anchoring to external timestamping services.

Performs OAuth 2.0 scope minimization review to identify over-permissioned third-party application integrations, excessive API scopes, unused token grants, and risky OAuth consent patterns across identity providers and SaaS platforms. Activates for requests involving OAuth scope audit, API permission review, third-party app risk assessment, or consent grant minimization.

Security awareness training is the human layer of phishing defense. An effective anti-phishing training program combines regular simulations, interactive learning modules, metric tracking, and positiv

AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a symmetric block cipher standardized by NIST (FIPS 197) used to protect classified and sensitive data. This skill covers implementing AES-256 encryption in GCM m

Ed25519 is a high-performance digital signature algorithm using the Edwards curve Curve25519. It provides 128-bit security with 64-byte signatures and 32-byte keys, offering significant advantages ove

Implement a vulnerability aging dashboard and SLA tracking system to measure remediation performance against severity-based timelines and drive accountability.

Email sandboxing detonates suspicious attachments and URLs in isolated environments to detect zero-day malware and evasive phishing payloads. Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) is an industry

Envelope encryption is a strategy where data is encrypted with a data encryption key (DEK), and the DEK itself is encrypted with a master key (KEK) managed by AWS KMS. This approach allows encrypting

Deploy SailPoint IdentityNow or IdentityIQ for identity governance and administration. Covers identity lifecycle management, access request workflows, certification campaigns, role mining, SOD policy

Deploy DefectDojo as a centralized vulnerability management dashboard with scanner integrations, deduplication, metrics tracking, and Jira ticketing workflows.

Build a vulnerability exception and risk acceptance tracking system with approval workflows, compensating controls documentation, and expiration management.

Implements FIDO2/WebAuthn hardware security key authentication including registration ceremonies, authentication flows, YubiKey enrollment, and passkey migration strategies. Builds a complete relying party server using the python-fido2 library that supports cross-platform authenticators, resident key (discoverable credential) workflows, and user verification policies. Activates for requests involving FIDO2 implementation, WebAuthn registration, hardware security key enrollment, YubiKey integration, or passkey migration from password-based authentication.

This skill covers implementing Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Gatekeeper for policy-as-code enforcement in Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines. It addresses writing Rego policies, deploying OPA Gatekeeper as a Kubernetes admission controller, testing policies in development, and integrating policy evaluation into deployment pipelines.

Implements data loss prevention policies using Microsoft Purview to protect sensitive information across Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, endpoint devices, and Power BI. The analyst configures sensitivity labels with encryption and content marking, creates DLP policies using built-in and custom sensitive information types with regex patterns, deploys endpoint DLP rules to control file operations on Windows and macOS devices, and monitors policy effectiveness through Activity Explorer and DLP alert management. Uses PowerShell cmdlets and the Microsoft Graph API for programmatic policy management. Activates for requests involving DLP policy creation, sensitivity label configuration, data classification, endpoint data protection, or Microsoft Purview compliance administration.
