What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that allows me to leverage my expertise in information security and risk management while contributing to an organization's long-term goals.

I am an ambitious Information Security Manager with over 17 years of experience in the field, specializing in risk management, compliance, and auditing. My current role at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) involves managing a third-party risk management program for a global technology client, where I conduct ISO-based audits and support remediation plans. I am passionate about enhancing security measures and aligning them with organizational goals.

Throughout my career, I have successfully conducted security assessments across various sectors, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements such as ISO 27001:2013 and NIST CSF. My previous experience at HCL Technologies and Wipro has equipped me with a robust understanding of security frameworks and the ability to identify and mitigate risks effectively. I have a proven track record of delivering comprehensive reports and recommendations to clients, helping them strengthen their security posture.
