Chinedu Nkwa

I am a dedicated Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) professional with over eight years of experience in Third-Party Risk Management, vendor assessments, and regulatory frameworks such as NIST CSF, GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001. I hold CISA and CRISC certifications and have worked across financial services and technology sectors.

I have automated TPRM workflows using ServiceNow GRC and RSA Archer, reducing audit preparation time by 40%, led ISO 27001 certification efforts, and developed Tableau and Excel-based risk reporting that improved stakeholder decision-making. I have authored GRC policies, coordinated remediation tracking, and delivered cybersecurity training to large stakeholder groups.

I collaborate effectively with procurement, InfoSec, and cross-functional teams in remote environments to strengthen vendor risk programs, ensure audit readiness, and integrate compliance into procurement processes. I bring a results-driven mindset focused on measurable risk reduction and continuous process improvement.
