IT Security Officer focused on ISO/SOC compliance, GRC automation, and building security-first governance from the ground up.
What I'm looking for
I’m an IT Security Officer who builds compliance and GRC programs from the ground up—translating business risk into practical governance, controls, and audit readiness. I lead the end-to-end establishment of a compliance and GRC function, implementing ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus with clear scope, policies, and audit readiness strategies.
I drive certification roadmaps for upcoming ISO 42001 and SOC 2, and I design scalable GRC workflows that use AI-driven integrations to streamline compliance operations and improve efficiency. My approach centers on core security governance—risk management, access control, incident response, and change management—while partnering across leadership and cross-functional teams to embed a security-first culture.
Previously, I managed security and compliance during IgniteTech’s acquisition of Khoros, integrating ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 22301, and SOC 2 frameworks and supporting surveillance audits and certification maintenance. Before that, at Evercam Limited I maintained ISO 27001:2022 ISMS, supported SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2, led security awareness programs, handled GDPR/data privacy customer inquiries, and drafted and negotiated key legal agreements—strengthened by my legal drafting and research background as a Legal and Compliance Associate.
