Athenkosi Ngqola

I’m a results-driven Cybersecurity Risk & Compliance Analyst with over five years of professional experience across finance, governance, compliance, payroll administration, financial reporting, risk analysis, and internal controls. I bring a strong foundation in cybersecurity governance, information security, data protection, and regulatory compliance, with a focus on safeguarding confidential information.

In my roles, I conduct financial and operational risk assessments, support compliance monitoring, and maintain internal control procedures. I also support audits through accurate documentation and record management, while improving business processes to strengthen secure operations in remote and hybrid environments.

I’m particularly effective in translating compliance requirements into practical controls and monitoring. I’ve improved reporting efficiency by 20%, reduced reporting turnaround time by 30%, and managed payroll for 120+ employees with high accuracy—always with strict confidentiality and attention to governance expectations.
