Albert Mante
@albertmante
I’m a senior cybersecurity risk & compliance analyst focused on control testing.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced Cybersecurity Risk & Compliance Professional with 9+ years of hands-on work in technology risk management, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and control testing across the financial and health sectors. I lead enterprise-level risk assessments and help teams strengthen security posture across complex IT environments.
In my current Senior IT Security Analyst role, I implement security and compliance frameworks for medical technology systems, integrating cybersecurity and access-control measures for next-gen robotic platforms. I evaluate and secure data transmission pathways and improve continuous monitoring visibility using Splunk and ServiceNow GRC.
Previously as a Senior IT Auditor, I led planning and execution of control testing to assess design and operating effectiveness of security controls, including Identity and Access Management across platforms and applications. I conducted RCSA, ISCR, and business process testing, then delivered gap analyses, remediation recommendations, and credible technical advisory support grounded in NIST and industry audit standards.
I also built compliance and authorization packages (SSP, SAR, POA&M), performed NIST SP 800-53A control testing, and supported long-term adherence through risk assessment frameworks. I’m energized by mentoring and cross-functional collaboration—translating requirements from NIST, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, SOX, and FFIEC into practical actions that protect sensitive data.
