@damilolaonifade
Experienced IT Auditor specializing in SOX, SOC, and cybersecurity risk management.
What I'm looking for
I am an IT Audit professional with a demonstrated track record evaluating technology controls, ensuring regulatory compliance, and strengthening cybersecurity posture across large organizations. I have hands-on experience with SOX, SOC I/II/III testing, disaster recovery planning, incident response, vulnerability assessments, and third-party risk evaluations.
My background includes using auditing and analytics tools such as ACL, IDEA, Archer, Jira, QlikView, Tableau, Power BI, and IBM OpenPages while applying frameworks like NIST, COBIT, COSO, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA to align IT practices with regulatory and best-practice requirements. I collaborate with control and process owners to design, test, and remediate IT general and application controls and validate system-generated information used in financial reporting.
I bring strong analytical capability, risk management acumen, and experience coordinating cross-functional stakeholders to implement sustainable remediation and improve control efficiency. I seek roles where I can apply my SOX/SOC auditing experience and technical audit skills to reduce risk and enhance organizational resilience.
