Information security and technology risk professional at Dell Technologies coordinating SOC 2 Type II audit readiness.

At Dell Technologies, I own SOC 2 Type II audit readiness and coordinate the audit lifecycle, from evidence planning and validation through auditor requests, findings follow-through, and continuous improvement.

I lead cybersecurity risk assessments and audits of global cloud, SaaS, AI/LLM, and other critical technology providers. I evaluate security and compliance evidence, identify control gaps, and recommend risk-based remediation.

I assess controls against frameworks including NIST SP 800-53, ISO 27001, SOC 1/SOC 2, FedRAMP, and PCI DSS. I also review vulnerability and penetration-testing findings to support risk decisions.

Earlier, at UNITED BANK, I coordinated technology issue resolution and compliance workflows in a regulated banking environment. At ZENITH BANK, I conducted risk-based IT audits, tested technology controls, and tracked management actions through remediation.
