- Technical fluency: Ability to understand and communicate technical security and product concepts (e.g., cloud architecture, APIs, encryption) and translate them into actionable legal guidance and risk assessments.
- Regulatory expertise: Strong knowledge of cybersecurity and privacy laws and standards (e.g., GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, NIST/ISO), and familiarity with emerging cyber/AI regimes (e.g., CRA, EU AI Act) and sector requirements (e.g., HIPAA, SEC cyber rules) as applicable.
