What I'm looking for

I'm seeking GRC Analyst, Compliance Analyst, Enterprise Risk, Internal Controls, or Regulatory Compliance roles internationally, and I'm open to remote work or relocation.

At AWAL Global Consults Limited, I provide governance, risk, compliance, and regulatory advisory to SMEs, startups, NGOs, and individual clients. My work includes compliance assessments, remediation plans, and risk registers.

I handle KYC and CDD, support AML/CFT requirements, and advise on corporate governance and regulatory obligations. I also manage sensitive personal information in line with NDPA 2023 and apply GDPR and CCPA principles for clients with international data exposure.

For AWAL Global Consults Limited, I completed a cybersecurity risk assessment using NIST RMF SP 800-37, identifying 13 risks and producing treatment plans. I also mapped security posture across all six NIST CSF 2.0 functions and prepared a prioritised remediation roadmap.

At Segun Sipeolu & Associates, I oversee digital operations and administer case management and filing systems. I maintain document control across more than 100 active case files and track compliance deadlines. My legal background includes an LLB and experience in litigation support.
