Aishwarya S

I’m an Audit and Analytics Risk professional with 12 years of experience delivering IT (ITGC/ITAC) and information security audits, plus analytics-driven risk assessments across global banking and technology domains. I’m ACAMS-certified and I specialize in risk-based audit execution aligned to SOX/ICFR.

Most recently as Audit Manager with HSBC’s Global Internal Audit team, I led end-to-end IT audits across ITGC, ITAC, Information Security, Incident Response, and Data Integrity, delivering risk-based assurance across global entities. I spearheaded analytics-led audit transformation (“NexGen Auditing”), using process mining and analytics dashboards to automate ~30% of audit scope and improve audit coverage and accuracy.

I also served as a coordination lead across Technology, Payments Operations, and Compliance for issue identification, regulator-aligned remediation, and continuous monitoring, while managing and mentoring an audit team of 5. I helped drive risk-based annual audit planning using regulatory priorities, incident trends, payment volumes, and SOX requirements—and delivered integrated audits across FCC, Payments, and Operations using COBIT, NIST, and ISO 27001 alignment.

Earlier, I worked as a Senior Analyst at Deutsche Bank, applying Python and SQL to assess portfolio health and control performance, and I earned recognition including Employee of the Quarter and a SPOT Award for analytics innovation. I’ve also built AML transaction monitoring rules and analytics-driven AML controls at Jocata Financial Advisory, and I’m now the founder of a data-driven D2C health & nutrition brand (Bwise365), applying analytics and AI-driven insights to manage supply chain risk and operational metrics.
