Adrian Akhuya

I’m a results-driven IT professional with a strong foundation in networking and security, backed by Cisco certifications (CCNA and CCST) and CEH (ongoing). I design, implement, and maintain robust network environments while focusing on measurable outcomes.

As a Data Specialist at Cloudfactory (Dec 2023–Present), I conduct thorough data analysis of clients’ information and storage systems. I create and implement digital conversion programs, perform regular data integrity and quality audits, and produce data collation reports to support decision-making.

Previously, as a Cybersecurity GRC Specialist at Safaricom PLC (Mar 2023–Dec 2023), I formulated and executed a comprehensive GRC strategy aligned to organizational objectives. I helped develop and enforce cybersecurity policies for compliance, conducted risk assessments through daily/monthly/quarterly critical systems access reviews, and built KPIs and metrics to track GRC effectiveness.

I thrive on cross-functional collaboration, working closely with IT, legal, and audit teams to build an integrated security approach. I also drive security culture through executive posture reporting and a comprehensive cybersecurity awareness training program—staying detail-oriented, analytical, and committed to high standards.
